The STOCKVALE GROUP note the townscape improvements and guidance on design quality and Heritage preservation and enhancement are inextricably linked to improvements to Public Realm and pedestrian connectivity. The STOCKVALE GROUP like the majority of the Town support the continued regeneration and reinvention of the Towns greatest icon Southend's Pleasure Pier.

As there are a number of opportunity sites outlined in the SCAAP document, the STOCKVALE GROUP would suggest that the Council (through the SCAAP document) develop design codes and development briefs to ensure that the townscape improvements and quality of design of future developments meet the aspirational high standard to create a coherent and consistent Central Area. This needs to reflect on the Towns Heritage and look towards the future to create Southend as unique place and destination for leisure, shopping, living and working.
