Respondent: Leigh-on-Sea Town Council
We would prioritise:
Everyone feels safe at all times of the day
We are developing Southend together- Everyone who wants to can be involved to make this happen
Everyone takes responsibility for protecting our environment
A sense of family and community, enjoying and supporting each other – a strong sense of settled communities
There is a good balance of quality retail, residential and social space in our attractive town centres

1.4 How should Southend develop in the future in seeking to deliver 18,000 - 24,000 new homes and 10,000 - 12,000 new jobs, please select from one of the options stating your reasoning.

Southend should develop in the future by considering Option 3 – “Option 2 + working with neighbouring authorities to develop a comprehensive new settlement across Borough boundaries (strategic scale development).” However to achieve this, there must be a significant upgrade to strategic transport network and without working with neighbouring authorities, Southend Borough will bear the brunt continually on its infrastructure of other authorities building houses on the Southend boundaries without providing their own sufficient infrastructure but relying on Southend roads . Leigh Town Council have also chosen Option 3 as we have a responsibility to our residents to protect Leigh-on-Sea’s green belt areas.

There are no options as Southend has such limited capacity to be able to develop in the future.

b) directing higher density housing to specific locations, such as town centre, near train stations and prime bus routes (e.g. London Road, Southchurch Road, Victoria Avenue, Sutton Road)?

Section 2 – How best do you think we should provide for our future housing needs?
Leigh Town Council chose option b) directing higher density housing to specific locations. Additionally where possible, this can be assisted by using empty retail or higher floors of locations in the town centre.

2.3 Allow housing development on land not currently built on, such as agricultural land, open space (excluding parks & coastline) & land at Fossetts Farm? What sites do you think should be identified

Respondent: Leigh-on-Sea Town Council
Greenbelt land should be preserved. Leigh Town Council think Fossetts Farm would be suitable but only subject to appropriate road infrastructure leading to other areas of the town being improved.

Leigh Town Council feels there needs to be a different policy approach. There should be a secure proportion for social housing with a means testing policy on social housing tenants

2.5 How might the local plan be more responsive to the needs of younger people, older people and custom/ self-builders
Representation ID: 4111
Received: 22/03/2019

The Local Plan would be more responsive to the needs of those stated by having more social housing available, along with modular housing.
