The Regulation 18 consultation marks the start of the engagement stage of the Plan and represents the scoping stage to decide what should be included in it. Furthermore, consultation on the Plan, including with key stakeholders helps to ensure that it is based on up to date, robust evidence. 1.3 Comments were invited from interested parties on the proposed vision and spatial strategy options for the plan and on a range of issues including housing, the economy, tourism, transport and the environment. Receiving comments at this stage helps to ensure that people living, working or who have a stake in the future of Southend have a say in how these issues are addressed. 1.4 Southend Borough Council, together with neighbouring authorities in South Essex and Essex County Council are also working together to address various cross-boundary issues. Details of the Local Plan were therefore raised at regular Essex and South Essex planning officer and councillor meetings. 1.5 It is important to point out that the consultation was a starting point and the Council is not, at this stage, proposing any policies or setting out which sites should be allocated for development. Section 2: Consultation under Regulation 18 Southend New Local Plan Issues and Options 2.1 The Southend on Sea New Local Plan Issues and Options document was published so that representations could be made between 5th February and 2nd April 2019. 2.2 Who we consulted – A list of people and organisations we consulted is set out at Appendix 3. Details of press and social media engagement to advertise the consultation to the general public is set out at Appendix 4 (consultation material). Section 3 of this report sets out our approach to meeting the duty to co-operate, in particular working with neighbouring authorities, Essex County Council and other partners on strategic cross-boundary matters affecting South Essex. 2.3 How we consulted – The methods of consultation are set out in Appendix 5, and a schedule of consultation events are set out at Appendix 6. Section 7 of this report details wider continuous engagement on the Local Plan that has been undertaken to date, including conversations within the Council and with external partners to develop the Southend 2050 ambition and road map. 2.4 Summary of the main issues raised – Section 4 of this consultation report sets out a summary of the key issues raised by those responding to the public consultation on the Issues and Options document. A more detailed summary of each representation submitted is set out at Appendix 1, and Appendix 2 summarises comments made at the drop-in sessions and workshops we ran during the public consultation. Section 5 of the report summarises the main points raised by key stakeholders, including neighbouring local authorities and other statutory consultees. 2.5 Sustainability Appraisal – Section 7 sets out the comments we received on the Sustainability Appraisal and how these should influence the scope and content of the plan objectives and policies. 2.6 How the representations will be taken into account in the plan - Section 8 summarises what you said about the plan and what we will do in response to take the plan forward. Section 3 Duty to Co-operate 3.1 The Council seeks to co-operate and engage with a range of organisations on strategic matters when preparing its new Local Plan. This positive approach will assist in influencing the evolution of the Local Plan. Whilst there is no duty to agree, the Council will endeavour to secure the necessary co-operation on strategic cross-boundary matters before submitting the Local Plan for Examination. 3.2 In order to ensure a strategic and agreed coordinated approach to development in South Essex, in 2017 all six south Essex local authorities and Essex County Council agreed to the establishment of the Association of South Essex Local Authorities (ASELA) to prepare a suite of plans and documents to guide developments and schemes in the South Essex sub-region. This included the preparation of an agreed 2050 Ambition and a Joint Strategic Plan (JSP), the latter to provide the framework for the preparation of more detailed Local Plans by the six Local Authorities. 3.3 The establishment of an agreed sub-regional framework for growth in south Essex is important to ensure that the six local plans provide for an effective ‘joined-up’ planning approach. 3.4 Throughout the Local Plan preparation process, the list of strategic matters and opportunities for joint working will be kept under review and influence the engagement and co-operation activities promoted. Southend Borough Council will develop new and/or build on existing established joint working mechanisms, as appropriate. Co-operation arrangements the Council propose to employ and/or consider include: • Joint Officer and Member meetings, committees and working groups • Commissioning of joint evidence base studies and reports • Joint or aligned plans across Council areas • Memorandums of Understanding as a framework for co-operation • Getting key decisions in writing from other authorities/bodies • Confirming understanding/intentions in writing Joint statements of policy/action Joint statements of co-operation/ Statements of Common Ground. 3.5 These arrangements will be undertaken in addition to statutory Local Plan and planning application consultations, and general correspondence issued by the Council. Section 4 Key Issues identified 4.1 The following issues were identified from the representations submitted on the Issues and Options document. This feedback will be used to further develop planning policies on these matters as the plan progresses towards submission, independent examination and adoption. 4.2 Vision – there was broad agreement with the key messages of the Southend 2050 vision, but further emphasis was required on protecting and enhancing the environment, including combating climate change; providing supporting infrastructure; improving transport access in and around the Borough whilst boosting opportunities for more sustainable forms of travel; and balancing aspirations with what is deliverable, including provision of affordable housing. It was also considered to be important that Sustainability Appraisal of the plan takes into account any cross-boundary / cumulative effects of strategic scale development. 4.3 Spatial Options – Of the three spatial options presented, option 3 attracted the most support. Those supporting it viewed it as providing the best opportunity for accommodating the necessary growth. Opponents to this option cited the unacceptable loss of green belt land and the loss of open countryside between the current urban fringe and the internationally important estuarine habitats of the River Roach to the north. Those respondents favouring Option 1 focussed on the need to redevelopment brownfield sites, whilst those opposing it were concerned that further development in the existing built up area would worsen perceived over-crowding and high-density development. Those favouring Option 2 considered this to be the best compromise of the three options available, as it would promote use of brownfield land whilst allowing some expansion of the urban area where new residents could access existing facilities. Opposition to Option 2 came from those wishing to see the Green Belt protected and others who considered that this approach would not be sufficient to meet the Borough’s needs. 4.4 Housing – There was support for more affordable homes, although there is a need to set policy requirements carefully having regard to viability. New housing should be inclusive and adaptable for all people to support family cohesion and provide flexibility. Vacant and empty homes should be brought back into use and higher density development focussed close to town centres and public transport nodes, but there was an acknowledgement that densification is unlikely to deliver the required amount and mix of dwellings whilst maintaining a good quality of life for existing residents. A new garden community could enable a comprehensively and positively planned scheme. There was also a recognition of the need to provide the right type of housing to support the economic performance of the town, thus helping to reduce levels of deprivation. 4.5 Securing a Thriving Local Economy – Support for key sectors including digital, cultural and creative industries, health care, advanced manufacturing and engineering and tourism, and in protecting the main employment locations. Aviation and local fishing industry were also cited as in need of support through planning policy. Supporting economic growth with improvements in infrastructure (transport and digital) was also highlighted. Poorer quality employment sites could be considered for redevelopment providing it takes into account environmental factors and does not result in job losses. 4.6 Promoting Southend as a Major Resort – Should be borough wide, building on the Seafront offer, and providing opportunities for more than day trips. Better links between the Seafront and the High Street were required, along with provision of a range of tourist accommodation and leisure offer.

  • SWI 4 Southend-On-Sea to Wallasea Island England Coast Path Stretch
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Southend-on-Sea to Wallasea Island Report SWI 4: Sutton Ford Bridge to Paglesham Eastend Part 4.1: Introduction Start Point: Sutton Ford Bridge, Rochford (grid reference: TQ 8832 8963 ) End Point: Paglesham Eastend (grid reference TQ 9477 9212) Relevant Maps: SWI 4a to SWI 4f 4.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Southend-on- Sea and Wallasea Island. 4.1.2 This report covers length SWI 4 of the stretch, which is the coast between Sutton Ford Bridge and Paglesham Eastend. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 4.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Artist Commission, Rochford Town 2019-20
    Artist Commission, Rochford Town 2019-20 Budget: £10,000 Deadline: Monday 27 May 2019 (1pm) Interviews: Friday 7 June 2019 Introduction For eleven years Essex Cultural Diversity Project (ECDP) has been working closely with many different organisations, bringing together artists, museums, libraries, performers and writers with local authorities and commissioners to significantly improve and enhance the artistic and cultural diversity of the area, ensure that excellence is thriving, and that cultural integration and understanding is supported and enhanced through arts and cultural activity. This is more important today than it has ever been since ECDP was established. ECDP is now an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) with a key role to play across Essex and the East of England in continuing to support diversity in arts and cultural practice. Our strategy to achieve this is through a programme of exciting but challenging place-based commissions for artists to work in areas of Essex where there are opportunities to explore diversity through their practice. For 2019- 20 we are focusing on rural or smaller areas/towns that do not tend to see a lot of artists commissioning or activity, particularly focusing on more diverse arts/cultural practice. This commission is to be focused on the historic town of Rochford in what is a largely rural District to the south east of Essex bordering the urban area of Southend-on-Sea. Rochford Town Introduction Rochford is the main town and administrative centre of the District of Rochford a largely rural area to the south east of Essex, bordering the urban Borough of Southend-on-Sea.

  • Site Improvement Plan Essex Estuaries
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Essex Estuaries Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

The site comprises the major estuaries of the Colne, Blackwater, Crouch and Roach rivers and is important as an extensive area of contiguous estuarine habitat. Essex Estuaries contains a very wide range of characteristic marine and estuarine sediment communities and some diverse and unusual marine communities in the lower reaches, including rich sponge communities on mixed, tide-swept substrates. Sublittoral areas have a very rich invertebrate fauna, including the reef-building worm Sabellaria spinulosa, the brittlestar Ophiothrix fragilis, crustaceans and ascidians. The site also has large areas of saltmarsh and other important coastal habitats.
