Representation Summary:

OS13 - The site used by Prospects Collage located next to Roots Hall was to become part of the Sainsbury development. There is a strong possibility that if Sainsbury do not buy the site, the site will be used for additional housing development. Last year the company Lidi wanted to buy the Prospect site to build a Lidi store.
As the site also includes a car park, in my view this development would have been ideally suited for this location, providing employment and services to the local community which would also include the new housing development on the Roots Hall Site. Southend Council should re-engage with Lidi in order to reach a successful conclusion.
