Agree. Refurbishment in these cases is good recycling but only if other planning objectives are not compromised.
Given that much of Southend's architectural heritage has been lost since the 1960s, RSL supports this principle. Retaining quality and characterful existing buildings will support Southend's distinctiveness, referenced as important under 3.9. RSL are aware of the current Urban Characterisation work being undertaken by Urban Practitioners on behalf of the Council, and we assume that this work will guide the identification of buildings which make a 'positive contribution'.
