On behalf of the Shoebury Residents Association.

Members note that the Shoebury Sea Front is not specifically included in Policy DM6 as this stops at Maplin Way.

Members wish to see the following for the Shoebury sea fronts.

1. Maintain existing established built character and activities based around open parks and beach recreation.
2. Support measures to improve the quality of the beach huts.
3. Enhance Green grid through improvements to the parks and gardens.
4. Help maintain and promote existing leisure activities on East Beach and Shoebury Slipway including wind and kite surfing and picnicking.
5. No major development will be promoted or supported in this beach area. Flatted developments along the Seafronts will be resisted. Development that does take place must respect the open nature of the public and private open space and the grain and character of the residential area.
6. Shelters and cafes will be improved. Refurbishment and renewal works will not impact on the foreshore views and will not encroach onto the foreshore.
