Preparation work for the Southend Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) indicates that Southend will not be able to continue to meet all of its housing need within its existing urban area or on land at the edge of the existing built up area of Southend. Given Southend administrative boundary, this work would likely involve working with neighbouring authorities of Castle Point and Rochford, and as such this is work that the South Essex Joint Plan would consider.
Whilst each option has its own advantages and disadvantages which would need to be looked at in considerable detail, CCC is concerned that Options 1 and 2 may not meet identified housing need: protocol for dealing with unmet need requests agreed through EPOA – continued joint working encouraged to aid delivery of strategic allocations to meet housing need in full within the Borough or Housing Market Area.

OPTION 1 - All development within existing built up areas of Southend

This option would rely on additional evidence work such as an Urban Living Study to be undertaken to look at potential to increase housing densities across Southend.

OPTION 2 - Most development within existing built up area, focused in specific locations such as the Town Centre, Airport and main passenger transport corridors, with some development on the edge
Representation ID: 3886
Received: 05/06/2019
Respondent: Chelmsford City Council
This option could deliver 10,000 – 13,800 homes (including around 4,750 on greenfield/ green belt land) but would also rely on the Urban Living Study to be undertaken for the town centre and main passenger transport corridors.

2. How best do you think we should provide for our future housing needs

Both CCC and SBC have been involved in the joint Gypsy, Traveller & Traveller Show people Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) with other relevant Essex Local Planning Authorities. The assessment undertaken across Essex found that there are no additional pitches needed for gypsy and traveller sites or additional plots required for travelling show people in Southend. On transit sites, CCC acknowledges GTAA’s recommendations to engage, through DTC with other Essex authorities to review need for transit sites and further work also being undertaken by ECC to consider need across Essex as a whole.

3. How best do you think we can retain and promote employment in Southend
Representation ID: 3890
Received: 05/06/2019
Respondent: Chelmsford City Council
The employment need for the borough is between 10,000 – 12,000 new jobs over the 20-year plan period. The South Essex Economic Development Needs Assessment (EDNA 2017) identifies ‘growth clusters’ (located around the Town Centre, London Southend Airport and northern Southend corridor) as having the potential to achieve future growth in Southend. The EDNA suggests that there is a need for up to 39,000sq metres/4 hectares of additional office space in Southend over the next 20 years.
