Wherever possible higher density housing should be allowed with greater emphasis on public housing.
The contribution on new sites for public housing must be insisted on.When developers eg Weston homes say it isn’t viable they must be stopped,when you look at their yearly profit figures this is disproved.

This would not work. Most properties have at least 2 vehicles - where you got your figures from of 1 vehicle per household cannot be true. It would place further pressure on existing schools, surgeries etc

Stop allowing dividing existing houses into flats.
Increased density leads to too many cars, no parking, more pollution etc

Not an objection but not total support, but this is the lesser of two evils if density development is necessary. Rather than directing it to already busy areas including some problem areas, spreading across a built-up area serves to benefit these said areas, including areas that may be currently neglected by already existing dense areas.

Younger people are more attracted to living in built up areas and high quality apartments which offer convenience and location benefits.

Work with developers to provide more information about where we will accept develop and conversion of use of property. I do not think developers are clear where they are able to convert to residential and also the density and heights that will be permitted. Greater clarity on the plans. improved communication

Already over development - lack of parking - resident views ignored
One size fit all does not work. Take resident views into account.
Developments should compliment the area

Increasing density could be an acceptable approach in some areas providing the developments show a high level of sustainability within the design and included communal or private spaces such as roof gardens.

It is noted from the evidence base that Southend Council considers that only 5,200 to 9,100 additional dwellings can be provided from the built up area during the plan period, of which 3,800 is assumed to come from windfalls. The dwelling capacity figures stated in the Issues and Options document only represents 21% to 50% of the 18,000 to 24,000 dwellings identified as representing the Objectively Assessed Need for housing in Southend for 20 years. Thurrock Council has made a separate representation on the need to take account of the revised Government NPPF and Planning Guidance of February 2019 regarding the use of the standard methodology. The Government approach to assessing need produces a Southend housing figure (23,580 dwellings over 20 years) at the higher end of the housing need range as set out in the Southend Issues and Options document and also therefore at the higher end of the unmet need as measured against current capacity assessments from urban sites.
With such a shortfall in identified capacity compared to housing need it is recommended that Southend Council should ensure it has undertaken a robust and thorough assessment of all potential capacity arising from the urban area. This should take account of updates and reviews of the evidence on urban capacity including the results from the call for sites following this Issues and Options consultation and the capacity assessment from the emerging South Essex Strategic Growth Locations Study (SGLS) and Urban Living Study.
The potential capacity from the urban area Southend Council should thoroughly test the potential uplift in housing capacity that could be achieved from the following sources:
• Any additional capacity that could be achieved form town centre sites including the potential of re-use of upper floors of commercial building and new mixed use development;
• Seek to achieve higher density development around rail stations and other transport hubs and bus route corridors;
• Higher capacity from employment land that has a poor environment, under-utilised or is poorly located, and
• Higher density from suburban areas.
