OPTION 3 - Option 2 + working with neighbouring authorities to develop a comprehensive new settlement across Borough boundaries (strategic scale development)

Representation ID: 3961

Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Representation Summary:

Only Option 3 delivers all housing needs so this should be the option that should be taken forward. A Multi-pronged approach needed, e.g. specific locations, urban edges on greenfield, new settlement on Green Belt land.

Representation ID: 3962

Received: 01/04/2019

Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Representation Summary:

Given that the administrative boundary is so tightly bound to the urban area of the town, SBC must work closely with Rochford District Council to agree new urban extensions to Southend’s existing settlements and look to release Green Belt land.
It is essential that Joint Strategic Plan progresses given SBC’s need to work with neighbouring authorities, namely Rochford District Council, given its tight administrative boundary and potential for development in the Green Belt
Risk that if Option 3 not progressed this will impact on rest of South Essex. South Essex Joint Strategic Plan (JSP) should be expedited to ensure all South Essex authorities are uniform in their housing and development commitments – but should not allow delays in the JSP to impact on production of LP..

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

Representation ID: 3964

Received: 01/04/2019

Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Representation Summary:

It is promising to see that the Council recognise the importance of housing and its link to economic performance through the provision of the right housing in the right place, attracting a wide skills base that then encourages inward investment and thus helping to reduce the current levels of deprivation in the Borough. To this end, SBC must meet its housing needs in full with no shortfall in supply, to ensure the economic prosperity of the Borough.

Representation ID: 3965

Received: 01/04/2019

Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Representation Summary:

Clear evidence of need will need to be demonstrated and impact on viability considered to justify the adoption of the optional National Space Standards (Need and Viability). Transitional arrangements may also be needed following adoption to enable developers to factor in the cost of space standards into future land acquisitions

Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Representation Summary:

Danger of setting affordable housing policy requirements too close to margins of viability. Should look at setting variable targets in Local Plan with regard to development type and location.
