Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
Promotion of higher density, but not individually smaller residential developments in the Central Area Quarters is preferrable and reflects the wider City by the Sea aspiration (intensification). Consider the Gateway Neighbourhoods are often better placed to meet the need to provide family sized accommodation but that each site should be considered on own merits. Whilst provision of lower density accommodation will reduce capacity of total new build it is more important to ensure that new developments meet local housing need in terms of size &tenure (informed by SHMA, local housing needs studies and housing strategy)
