Do you agree that the Evaluation Criteria set out above are the right ones to test the overarching Spatial Options?
Representation ID: 641

Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
Agree that Evaluation Criteria are the right ones but consider adding 'exploit SSBC land ownership' under residential theme. Need to delete duplication 'Respond to forecast demand in core markets' which is named twice under residential theme.
Under Culture suggest add 'Develop and encourage creative industries'.
Movement and Transport: No mention of improving accessibility for disabled people or those with limited mobility

7a Allow the amount of office space to significantly reduce, in favour of a more residential community

Whilst the preferred option for mixed use development is favourable to creating sustainable communities there is a demonstrable demand for housing/ affordable housing in the area and this may prove a more viable long term solution for the quarter. Need to recognise importance of Victorias to delivering high number of residential units, potential for increased high quality, high density, mixed tenure residential development and future exploitation of key strategic sites in the area including Carnarvon Road, Heath and Carby House.

Not clear how parking requirements will be met and also how the network of lanes & mews will support deliveries to business premises.

16a (ii) - Providing for new and improved residential neighbourhoods to meet identified housing needs.
Representation ID: 650
Received: 09/08/2010
Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
Clearly capacity for the Gateway Neighbourhood areas to meet a portion of housing need of the central area in existing redundant commercial areas. However, growth needs to be balanced and ensure that not all affordable housing development is pushed out of Central Area to these neighbourhoods but that affordable provision is balanced across the wider areas and new provision takes account of existing housing tenures/styles in given area. The identified Gateway neighbourhoods cover a large area and do not share the same characteristics in terms of residential density and tenure make-up. New residential developments need to complement existing communities

23b - reflect a review of densities based on what is appropriate in the different Quarters and neighbourhood gateways. i.e encourage larger family houses in the Neighbourhood Gateways and higher density 'condominium' apartments in the town centre.

Promotion of higher density, but not individually smaller residential developments in the Central Area Quarters is preferrable and reflects the wider City by the Sea aspiration (intensification). Consider the Gateway Neighbourhoods are often better placed to meet the need to provide family sized accommodation but that each site should be considered on own merits. Whilst provision of lower density accommodation will reduce capacity of total new build it is more important to ensure that new developments meet local housing need in terms of size &tenure (informed by SHMA, local housing needs studies and housing strategy)

24a - Rely on the Development Management policies relating to size and type of housing that will be set out in the Development Management DPD and apply across the Borough.

Received: 09/08/2010
Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council
All dwellings should be subject to the space standards as set out in Development Management policies dependent on the size (number of bedrooms) of property. As outlined in response to Option Box 23 it is considered reasonable for a general distinction to be made between type/size of properties in town centre (apartments) and neighbourhood gateways (larger family).
