Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well
Option 3 appears to be the best option to us.
18000-24000 houses as well as 10000-12000 new jobs are not going to both be deliverable within the existing urban area without significant reduction of green space in that urban area, which is undesirable as the volume of green space in Southend is already low compared to other towns and cities.
A new settlement development would enable full, properly integrated design to take place, incorporating all infrastructure needs and that this could be done in a properly managed, sustainable way, using modern technologies (such as local heat networks and carbon free electricity generation) to deliver a properly sustainable development that is also self-sufficient in its energy requirements.
