Work with developers to provide more information about where we will accept develop and conversion of use of property. I do not think developers are clear where they are able to convert to residential and also the density and heights that will be permitted. Greater clarity on the plans. improved communication

b) in agreement with this. Also work with the transport providers to develop new strategic routes where housing and employment can be developed. Eg improved links to Rochford and the area near the airport business park which would support greater movement of people

2.2 Allow redevelopment of some of the poorer quality industrial areas and/or allow some sites currently zoned for employment to be developed for housing? What sites do you think should be identified

Greater clarity about housing and industrial use.
IMS is heavy industrial and located adjacent to residential. Is this the best place for this industry? Where do we want them? What type of industry do we want in each area? How are we supporting transport links to the industrial areas or is there shared parking for them to prevent spillage onto the local areas.
Towerfield industrial estate is in poor repair - this need investment so we can attract quality business into the area rather than it looking like it is dying.
New building on the corner opposite chalkwell park is residential on the top floors but commercial on the ground floor. Do we need more additional commercial footage on the ground floor of all development or can this be changed to residential especially on the London Road?

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

Proposed new housing on agricultural land should generally be a last resort especially where there is public access to the land. Housing at Fossetts should be supported along with the development of the land to the rear of Temple Sutton school where we still have extensive prefabricated post war buildings which are poor quality and land intensive. Equally Westcliff could be further developed with better quality new developments to enhance the area

Given our aging population it is important that all new properties are inclusive. Need to also develop housing for the older population in affordable complexes with support. Currently less evidence of this in Southend

with all the new developments in the borough we should ensure that the developers are required to re-invest in the Southend community in the same way as they are required to in different boroughs eg use of the 106 agreement to insist that they employ a proportion of people from the SS post codes also that they employ a proportion of apprenticeships for every £m spend. Also that they recruit via SECTA

There is a shortage in the town centre and linked to the current buildings but there is also empty units such as the old RBS tower and the old Prudential building so these could be re-commissioned ? also there are sites available in Victoria Avenue so not sure we need more in the town centre?

New jobs in the town centre yes. We could revive the existing office building such as the old prudential building and the old RBS building so support employment opportunities also could the top of the Victoria be changed from retail to business use?
London airport business park - need to consider recruiting business from out of area rather redeployment of southend businesses to rochford. This area could also be enhanced by housing but there needs to be improved transport links.
Temple Suppot and Stock road could be improved by access as these areas are often constrained by traffic conjestion. could there be a back road out of the business park at Temple Sutton
