Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces
Although this option has the potential to deliver both the housing requirements and jobs it poses a greater risk to the current state of nature. It also poses a potential risk to local air quality and potable other negative impact on the local environment.
Developments that have already taken place in adjoining boroughs, especially Rochford, have already had a negative impact on the area with the loss of farmland and green space. The new developments have not undertaken significant works to minimise the net loss of biodiversity and the highways works and other infrastructure are not antiquity for the increase in cars etc resulting in increased local congestion.
Option 3 could be a way forward providing developers have to provide infrastructure, including schools, and highways works are properly designed and upgraded at the cost of the developer. All development should show no overall loss of biodiversity.
