There are no policies in the document for the protection of your community and cultural facilities. Policy DM10 is imprecise and provides no firm basis for evaluating proposals.
We note the Core Strategy Objective SO2 to regenerate Southend as a cultural and intellectual hub which is reflected in para.6.1, and we note at para.4.17 that Southend is a major tourist destination with leisure and cultural infrastructure of regional significance. However, we can find no policy to support these objectives, nor to conform to guidance from the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
