Some of the poorer quality industrial areas should be redeveloped to help meet housing need, flats especially as contamination is likely to be present & therefore not viable for family housing

It is clear that housing need can only be met by releasing some green belt sites. Some at Fossetts Farm is suitable as is land to the north of Bournes Green Chase which is situated on the A13. Redevelopment of existing sport facilities should be avoided to retain leisure amenities.

The suggestion of providing garden communities is a sensible one. Southend is heavily biased towards 1 & 2 bed flats & more 2, 3 & 4 bed houses are badly needed for young families. Town houses (3 storey) can provide good housing densities & therefore are not necessarily too expensive to build, keeping resale costs affordable. They can make very efficient use of land.
