There is however concern that the policy and guidance set out in the draft document does not provide the necessary clarity around many areas of infrastructure including transport, education and community facilities to enable Southend-on-Sea Borough Council to effectively collect contributions towards such infrastructure. It is unclear as to which types of development would be expected to contribute towards infrastructure provision, and what levels of contribution would be expected.
