Southend Central Area Action Plan
19c - Encouraging the provision of combined heat and power systems and community heating as part of larger new development. If so what threshold size would be viable?
Representation ID: 720

As above; this is a technical decision that is not appropriate for planning policy. Larger developments would consider these and other options in meeting the carbon emission requirements that will exist at the time. Communal heat and power can occur at a very small scale of a few homes to a whole town and the economy of scale combined with CO2 emission ceilings will dictate the solution.

19d - Increasing the percentage of total energy needs of all new development to be provided on site from renewable sources, from 10%. If so what level should be expected?

As above; 10% is now too low and is being over-taken by BRs and other councils. Notwithstanding this, there will be only an 18 month gap between adoption of this DPD and zero carbon BRs so a higher target in the interim, with the current pace of new permissions may be considered superfluous. However, if a high target was wanted, 20% on-site renewable energy is very easily attainable using micro-generation technologies and Part L of current B. Regs.

20b - set vehicle parking standards in the central area to encourage sustainable modes of transport by restricting the provision of residential parking spaces provided and discouraging parking provision for workers in commercial development

Agreed - this is an important part of the strategy in tackling congestion and the dominance of the car in key areas of the town centre. Through LTP3 it should be possible to come to an evidence based view on the impact that current parking levels in the town centre have in terms of contributing to congestion, and therefore limiting the viability of more sustainable transport choices.

20c - Provide adequate parking for all residents and visitors

This need not necessarily be a different approach to that articulated under 20b - it is an evidence based approach that is required to identify what constitutes 'adequate parking'. This can come through LTP3 as suggested above.

Regarding the 'character areas' it would be worthwhile examining whether the current availability of on-street parking in many part of the town centre has a detrimental impact upon 'character areas', for instance Clifftown.
