Respondent: The Society for the Protection of Undercliff Gardens
Representation Summary:
Therein lies the conflict of expectation and reality which ensures that residents approach any document relating to design and planning with a jaundiced eye in the light of many years experience during which time Southend Council have widely and consistently ignored their own policies and guidelines. In other words we suggest that Southend Council have "form" and we fear that a change in attitude will be very difficult to implement. For this reason, the latest DPD will need to be carefully co-ordinated with the Design and Townscape Guide to avoid confusion,and eventually a lack of certainty.
