Southend Central Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 655
Received: 09/08/2010
Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
Given the potential capacity of the central area in helping to meet the affordable housing needs of the Borough there is clearly a need to maximise the amount of affordable housing delivered. With a greater number of larger scale sites there is potential to achieve the higher percentages of affordable housing needed to meet local needs. Increasing the percentage of affordable housing on larger sites could help to increase number of affordable housing units delivered in line with continuing flexible approach to viability on scheme by scheme basis.
