All Councils are supposed to put into their development plans site for renewable energy. The most suitable site we have is between the Pier & Shoebury Boom along the low water mark. This is between 1 mile at the pier & two & a half miles at the boom.

If you need reasons why this is suitable I can tell you but for now I think the site is what is needed.

Yes, the removal of the Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS's) and with them the targets for renewable and low carbon energy reduction has shown the government intention to devolve the authority for such things to the local level. Therefore it is essential that the council have a clear and detailed policy that allows development to continue at a healthy pace.

We support the council in taking positive action ahead of Government changes. The Thames Gateway is an Eco Region and should lead the way in resource efficiency and climate change mitigation.

The Council's approach needs to be flexible enough to respond to changes in emerging / adopted Government policy
