Hamlet Court Road needs to be 'greened' with a pocket park that could become a real focus for the area.

Representation Summary:

There needs to be a major re-think of the design of the London Road, our most important road in the borough. It has not been designed and so we just see random development with no clear policy. This will lead to further fracturing of the built environment, setting a very poor example in front of the whole town, for residents and visitors alike

Respondent: Southend Borough Council - Regeneration and Business Development

Representation Summary:

All areas of the borough should have high quality streetscapes allowing residence to enjoy the space in which they live and develop a sense of community. It is important that areas that have little or no landscaping are prioritised. It is also important that developments contain high quality soft landscaping suitable for the area. Trees are important to both the streetscape and the local environment. However, good quality planting including grass and shrubs can be just as beneficial and in most cases better than a tree in the wrong place. Greening of existing areas should also be included.

Representation Summary:

All developments should have a requirement to increase green space, reduce run off levels significantly through SuDS and to provide renewable generation as well as energy efficiency beyond the Merton Rule.

The main benefit will be health and resilience of the borough to flood, AQ, heat and climate change

Representation Summary:

Definitely build into new developments lots of tree planting .

Leigh should be upgraded first as there is a high proportion of residents who would be willing to help maintain the additional planting. Also existing grass verges could be planted with bird friendly shrubs rather than bollards to stop people parking on the verges.

Innovative planting would be required in Westcliff due to the high density of building and the fact that a lot of properties are converted flats.

Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well

Representation Summary:

The Local Plan should require high quality landscape design and tree planting in new developments.
The town centre should be the initial priority for improvements to the public realm.
Improvements implemented must address the challenges posed by climate change of increased temperatures and more intense rainfall.
