Southend Central Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 650
Received: 09/08/2010
Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
Clearly capacity for the Gateway Neighbourhood areas to meet a portion of housing need of the central area in existing redundant commercial areas. However, growth needs to be balanced and ensure that not all affordable housing development is pushed out of Central Area to these neighbourhoods but that affordable provision is balanced across the wider areas and new provision takes account of existing housing tenures/styles in given area. The identified Gateway neighbourhoods cover a large area and do not share the same characteristics in terms of residential density and tenure make-up. New residential developments need to complement existing communities
