Representation Summary:

The proposed releases of land for development at Hullbridge and Canewdon are considered to be unsustainable and therefore unsound. New housing should be directed to those areas with a close and more sustainable relationship with Southend including the second tier settlement of Great Wakering which is wrongly omitted as a location for expansion prior to 2021. Development to the south-west of Great Wakering would successfully relate to the Star Lane Industrial Estate which is earmarked under Policy H1 for residential use.
