Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19773

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Stolkin and Clements (Southend) LLP

Agent: Firstplan

Representation Summary:

Our clients have an in principle objection to providing an extension to Canewdon, as Canewdon is classified as a tier 3 settlement in the Core Strategy. It is recognised in the SHLAA as having poor access to public services (only 6 services running Monday - Friday) and poor access to shops. From our research it seems that there is only one primary school, 1 GP surgery, 2 public houses, a gold course and a country club. It is unlikely that an additional 60 houses will be able to fund significant improvements to infrastructure or additional amenities.
