A FORMER military site where hundreds of homes are set to be built has been put up for sale by a developer in a bid to raise extra cash. The Shoebury Garrison site, off Barge Pier Road, has been put on the market with owner and developer - Garrison Developments - saying all offers are being considered. Last December, Southend Council backed the developers’ plans for 214 homes. Shoebury Residents’ Association has strongly opposed the development, and now says it is worried more homes could be added if the site changes hands. Vice-chairman, Peter Lovett said: “We are now worried this may be sold to one of the giant developers, who have the experience to re-apply for planning and double the number of homes or increase the number of tall blocks being built on this wildlife site.
