Development Management Development Plan (DPD)
1. Has the Council identified all the key development management issues that are relevant to Southend-on-Sea?
Representation ID: 607
Received: 07/08/2010
Respondent: Herbert Grove Residents
No the Council has not!
The main point missed was the need to plan for the different types of people who use Southend, Residents, Visitors and Workers.
The currently adopted Council plans mix late night revellers from the night clubs and pubs through newly created residential arrears such as the St. John's Quarter and the proposed road layout mixes the movement of Workers in and out of Southend with Residents the moving in the opposite direction at the same time. Many new crossing points have been created where traffic will compete for road space and parking.

3. Are there any other options that you think the Council should consider as well as the ones suggested within this consultation document?
Representation ID: 608
Received: 07/08/2010
Respondent: Herbert Grove Residents
More consideration should be given towards the current residents and the parts of their lifestyle which will be changed by the proposed plans, such as loss of sea views and how they should be compensated for the loss of amenities.

4. Do you think that the Council's evidence base is sufficient to inform the Development Management DPD or do you consider that there is a need for further studies to inform this document?

Herbert Grove Residents believe that only the very minimum has been done necessary to 'tick the box'. The studies seem to have been carried out by consultants who have been no further than Brighton and do bring any of the new design ideas from successful holiday and commercial centres such as Alicante, Nice, Cannes and nearer at Le Touquet.

5. Do you agree with the suggested option?

Respondent: Herbert Grove Residents
As far as they go the suggestions are good, however the Council are constrained in meeting these objectives because they have incorporated the plans devised by Renaissance Southend Ltd. in their development structure and it is considered by Herbert Grove Residents that these plans do not agree with the suggested options.

7. Are there any approaches to implementing high quality design in new developments that should be considered by the Council?

The shift in the economy makes many of the assumptions irrelevant and even wrong.

Yes, however the tall buildings shown on the adopted Central Area Masterplan do not conform to the suggestions.

10. Do you consider that there is a need to define a tall building in terms of number of storeys?
Representation ID: 613
Received: 07/08/2010
Respondent: Herbert Grove Residents
No, Herbert Grove Residents consider that tall buildings which conform to the design suggestions will become landmarks and can enhance the environment.

11. Are there any other issues relating to tall buildings that the Council should consider?
Representation ID: 614
Received: 07/08/2010
Respondent: Herbert Grove Residents
Yes. There is no need to put tall buildings directly on the seafront, there are many sites in Southend where the rise in ground will provide excellent sea views and be near commuter hubs.
For example there is no point in putting a Casino in a building with a view, the most successful gambling resort in the world is Las Vegas which overlooks a desert.

Generally yes but the parking restriction should also be look at on a case by case basis. If conversion is taking place to provide student accommodation then parking should not be required because students do not usually have cars.

14. Should the Council set a numerical figure that prevents the conversion of dwellings below a given internal floor area as original constructed?

No, a case by case approach is fairer
