New Local Plan
Representation ID: 3776

Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well
Working with adjoining local authorities is critical to achieving a suitable overall response to the combination of challenges that the future poses for the Borough in respect of all the issues being addressed by the Local Plan.
A new country park could bring a variety of benefits and contribute towards delivery of a number of 2050 outcomes (including Green City). Delivery of this will require working together with adjoining local authorities to deliver on the strategic infrastructure requirements, particularly if the increase in housing numbers is going to be delivered and if the new settlement is seen as the optimum way of delivering this.
However we would regard having suitable green space integrated with all development as more important than having one designated green space in the form of a country park.
