Consultation Response to Southend Central Area Action Plan Revised Submission November 2016
Thank you for consulting Basildon Borough Council on the Southend Central Area Action Plan Revised Submission November 2016. Please accept this letter as the response of Basildon Borough Council to the consultation.
Please be advised that the proposals set out in the Southend Central Area Action Plan Revised Submission have been reviewed, and are not considered to have an adverse impact on Basildon Borough, its residents or proposals for the regeneration of Basildon Town Centre. Basildon Borough Council does not therefore seek to raise an objection to the Southend Central Area Action Plan
Preferred Approach.
Furthermore, it is recognised that additional work has been undertaken by Southend‐on‐Sea Borough Council to identify opportunity sites with the potential to deliver additional housing supply within the Southend Central Area, over and above that initially proposed in the Southend Core Strategy. This is welcomed by Basildon Borough Council in terms of meeting housing needs arising within the South Essex Housing Market Area.
