Southend Central Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 580

Received: 09/08/2010

Respondent: Renaissance Southend Ltd

Representation Summary:

Probably unachievable and difficult to implement. Reconciling the Borough's need for affordable housing, given the proportion of future housing that is identified as being delivered in Central Southend is a key challenge for the AAP, particularly given the need to stimulate investment in town centre with development that is viable. It can only be done as part of a more considered strategy for the delivery of affordable housing across the whole Borough.
