These are simple, geographic definitions of our neighbourhoods. Our local plan should identify other definitions of place such as seafront, historic area, gathering places, residential places, business places, recreational places. We know that this does happen in the detail of the local planning but it might help at a wider conceptual level. For example rather than thinking about the town as Leigh, Westcliff, Southend etc., why not, seafront, high streets, parks, residence. This changes the emphasis to what a place is rather than what it is called.
