It is suggested that the site does not present a suitable opportunity for employment use, given its geographical location within the Borough and the poor transport links connecting the site to the rest of the Borough and beyond. Interest has been expressed in the site for residential development and as such a residential lead scheme should be considered in this location. Shoebury Garrison should be removed from Issue DM21 and identified as a residential lead development site. The site provides the potential to build on the existing residential development that has come forward as part of the outline planning permission and provides a suitable opportunity to contribute to Southend's housing targets as a windfall site.
