Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council

Representation Summary:

Agree with the suggested options that developers should bring forward proposals for market housing that reflects the profile of households requiring such accommodation, that family sized accommodation is encouraged where appropriate and that mix is discussed at pre-application stage.

Agree with suggested guideline mix which mirrors findings of the recent SHMA update and would encourage that this is informed by any future updates of SHMA, local housing needs assessments and informed by upcoming refresh of the Borough's Housing Strategy.

Representation Summary:

Page 51. The proportion of different dwelling sizes in the suggested option does not appear to relate to the analysis of need. As the document has previously made clear Southend has a very high proportion of 1 and 2 bed properties already and an acute demand for 3 and 4 bed accommodations. Surely the proportion of 3 and 4 bed should be higher at say 30 and 40% and consequently lower for 1 and 2 bed, say 15 and 15%. The concept of a mix of housing types within a specific development to achieve a sustainable community is flawed. No evidence is available to demonstrate the concept works. They are not even achievable within developments of similar housing size let alone mixed dwelling size/types.

Respondent: Savills

Representation Summary:

Support approach which remains flexible to take account of revisions to the Strategic Housing Market Assessment, and which considers "The proposed affordable housing mix should not be treated as a definitive mix but rather a negotiated figure."
Factors likely to influence housing and tenure mix, including feasibility and viability should be clarified. Text should be drafted as policy in Submission Draft
