Representation Summary:

Whilst I agree that tables on the pavement outside a restaurant can be nice (in the right weather!) there perhaps needs to be guidance available to prevent these becoming an obstruction to wheelchair Users or pushchairs.

District already fully developed. New housing should be severely restricted.
Green belt land must be protected.
Agricultural land must remain as agricultural land.
Residents of the district do not want gypsy and travellers sites in the area.
The high hopes of economic development plans for Southend Airport may have to be toned down due to economic climate.
Every effort must be made to fill vacant shops in places like Hockley before any grandiose plans are contemplated.
