The proposals are for a residential development of up to 1,250 homes with landscaped areas, open spaces and other community benefits.
It is proposed that at the heart of the development there will be a village green that will integrate with existing pedestrian routes.
A new primary school with playing fields is planned for the space at the rear of the existing houses on Lower Rainham Road.
Access to the development will be from Lower Rainham Road and Pump Lane.
