Representation Summary:
Question 24 - Are there any other historical issues that the Council should consider?
English Heritage has published an advice note on seaside towns and their common issues, which you may find useful (available on the HELM website). Other issues you may wish to consider: issues relating to coastal erosion, underwater archaeology (there are over 100 known wreck sites just off the coast of Southend), protection of the Pigs Bay Cold War Defence Boom, off Shoebury Ness (Scheduled Monument 35502). Potential impacts on these assets should be considered particularly in relation to water based recreational activity.
