The current District Plan takes a 'scattergun' approach to planning, with about 13 separate sites. This means there are no economies of scale and the already stretched infrastructure cannot cope. This approach is unsustainable.
A long term vision is required with consideration to a new 'garden village' with appropriate new infrastructure. The scale and logistics of this would suggest a location east of Rochford, with a link across the Crouch.
This could be done as a joint project with Southend Council thus creating a new Southend north/south access route and opening up the north of Essex to strategic opportunities.
