Transport and Access into the Town is a key theme and in order to deliver the aspired number of new dwellings and new jobs in the Central Area the Stockvale Group wish to see this appropriately addressed through the SCAAP documentation. At present Stockvale Group does not believe that the Transport, Access and Parking Issues have been given enough consideration. Nor the highway infrastructure on existing businesses let alone the aspirational growth

Wholly support townscape improvements, improvements to the public realm, vastly improved connectivity from car parks to the Seafront, car parks to the high street and the creation of active public spaces in an otherwise linear High Street.

Based on various research and commissioned reports there is substantive evidence to indicate that the High Street is mainly a singular and due to change in customer expectations and behaviour the type of High Street is no longer viable.

Support the Council's view that spatially the High Street and connections to the seafront are an inappropriate configuration for regeneration and commercial vitality.

The proposed redevelopment of Roots Hall and Roots Hall Stadium are predicated on the Football Club relocating to Fossetts Farm with a significant volume of retail use. Whilst the redevelopment of these sites is supported the retail use and volume at Fossetts Farm would see the end of the High Street as a retail offer. The BID most strongly opposes the Fossetts Farm proposals and any movement of retail away from the SCAAP area and Town Centre.

Would argue that in relation to the Strategic Vision the Sea is what gives Southend its Unique Selling Point (USP) and these need to be a key theme in relation to future planning policy supporting the continued growth, regeneration and reinvestment.
