4. Do you think that the Council's evidence base is sufficient to inform the Development Management DPD or do you consider that there is a need for further studies to inform this document?

Herbert Grove Residents believe that only the very minimum has been done necessary to 'tick the box'. The studies seem to have been carried out by consultants who have been no further than Brighton and do bring any of the new design ideas from successful holiday and commercial centres such as Alicante, Nice, Cannes and nearer at Le Touquet.

Need for a study to link new Victoria station lay-out with a cheap transport system
ie Tram or Land train to seafront near pier and to Kursaal via central station.
This will extend the shopping and leisure offering to city beach from both stations.
Could link on return trip to bus station via Seaway.
This would make Southend different to all other seaside towns in the South East.
Tram/land train could start inside the Victoria station.

Design and townscape does not go far enough with regard to storage and use of rainwater, and reduction of overflows into main system.

Great improvements can be made to freeing streets of traffic if sensible amounts of parking are made available at all new development, we are a visitor town and want to encourage visitors, and we need to create enough space to accommodate parking spaces for visitors. Present standards are making the situation worse.
