New Local Plan
10.4 Develop a local standard for decentralised energy generation in new development that is more ambitious than national targets?

Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well
Yes – the Local Plan should be more challenging in its requirement of developers than national targets, especially as the energy distribution network is more challenged in the Borough than in other parts of the country and increases in the number of houses envisaged by the government’s plans will not be able to be properly catered for by the current energy distribution network.

10.5 Should we balance the need to retain the best and most versatile agricultural land for food security against future needs for housing and local services

Yes – consideration should be given to this, but not in isolation within the Borough. The best agricultural land in the Borough may not be a good as agricultural land elsewhere, therefore the trade-off between agricultural land and housing should take place at a more strategic level for the greater good, with the Council then delivering its part of whatever is regarded as the best mix of agricultural land v development at the overall strategic level.
