Development Management DPD - Revised Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 1654
Received: 16/05/2014
Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)
Agent: Iceni Projects Ltd
The population of Southend has increased significantly in recent years, and is projected to experience significant and rapid growth at least until 2031. In order to accommodate this growth, further provision of housing and employment opportunities will need to be delivered in the area, together with associated infrastructure necessary to serve the population.
Cogent recognises that the potential of Southend cannot be fully realised without extensive new highway and public transport infrastructure and accordingly, Cogent is promoting an extension of Southend to enable the delivery of significant improvements to the strategic transport infrastructure network that will realise the long-standing objectives of the Council. In particular, Cogent has identified the potential for the development of land at Bournes Green, which is capable of delivery in the short term, and can provide private and affordable family housing alongside contributions to the improvement of the strategic transport network.

Respondent: Essex County Council
Essex County Council fully supports the preparation of the Development Management DPD, and the revisions incorporating the NPPF. The Plan will provide more detailed guidance and flexibility to assist the process of securing high quality sustainable development to meet the needs of the community, in support of the adotped Core Strategy; strategic vision and adopted Supplementary Planning Documents.
The positive approach to review the policies as a whole for their viability and impact when considering planning applications is supported.
The county council considers the Revised Proposed Submission Document to be "sound" and welcomes the revisions which incorporate the majority of our previous comments dated 19 April 2011. Our previous comments were to assist the future use and application of the Plan and the need for a further reflection on a number of limited matters.
