Policy DS5, by failing to deliver sufficient parking capacity, and by introducing sustainable transport measures will create congestion and have a major negative impact on my business. Customer by car will not be able to access and park in the central area and thus will not be able to or will make the choice not to visit the central area. The NPPF is clear that policies should contribute to building a strong responsive and competitive economy. The provision of infrastructure is vital to this and the plan should proactively meet the development demands of business. This plan will deter from economic growth as it does not allow for the growth in visitor numbers by car.

The government recognises that different policies and measures will be required in different communities and opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary. Due to large numbers of visitors coming to Southend by car and due to its geographical location and access routes measures such as bus lanes and cycle routes only add to congestion. The public transport system is not of a high quality and is unsuitable for families wishing to visit Southend from outside the area.
