Canvey island sits along the Thames estuary and benefits from local primary schools, High School, Beach, Town Centre and amenities. The scheme benefits from excellent transport connections to Southend, Leigh-on-Sea, Hadleigh, South Benfleet, and Central Canvey Island. Bus connections are conveniently positioned directly outside the site on Canvey Road (A130), offering a clear advantage for both visitors and staff. In addition, a short journey connects the site to Benfleet Station on the C2C line, providing quick and reliable services into London Fenchurch Street. The design includes off-street parking allocated for staff and visitors, as well as zoned communal garden spaces for residents and with respect to the nearby habitat sites.

Situated just 38 miles East of Central London and 47 minutes away by train to London Fenchurch Street.

Demographics

Census data indicates that Canvey Island has a population of 37,983 and those aged over 65 equated to 25.9% of the population.
Castle Point Local Housing Needs Assessment from December 2023 indicates that, Based on the dwelling-led Local Housing Need projection discussed in Chapter 2, the number of over 75s in Castle Point is projected to increase by around 3,500 in the period 2023-2043. As of 2023, there were 12,291 persons aged 75 years or more in Castle Point and there were 561 units of dedicated older person accommodation in the area, almost all of which is in the form of sheltered housing.

Applying a rate of 120 per 1,000 persons to a growth in the population of 3,527 generates a need of 162 over the 20-year period. However, we would suggest that a higher figure is sought because current provision is currently very low. The national average for older person accommodation per 1,000 persons aged 75 years or older is around 120, not 45. Apply a rate of 120 per 1,000 to 3,527 persons yields a need of 423 units of dedicated older person accommodation and that represents a more realistic target for Castle Point.
