Committee ’s housing and community committee has raised concerns as around 41 homes are set to be released in a 725-home Redrow development in Basildon , Basildon . Starting at £ 381,995 for a three -bedroom home, the committee claims the houses are unaffordable for most residents. Committee chairman Kerry Smith said the land was meant for three affordable homes but was handed to the top-end developer to attract London buyers and boost Conservative support in the area. “ Basildon was not developed as a commuter town” said Redrow . He criticised the council’s previous Tory administration who approved the controversial development. Kerry Smith said registered interest in this second phase of development has been strong.
