IDM - Brownfield Residential Land Allocations

As detailed in our representations to Policies BRF1 and SER9, there is a certain level of uncertainly about the capacity of Southend Waste Water Treatment Works to accept all the growth planned in its catchments. With this in mind it should be acknowledged as a potential risk and the situation monitored over the plan period.

For Policy BFR3 (Stambridge Mills) the table states 'Flood Risk Assessments of the site have been produced which demonstrate that flood risk can be mitigated through improvements to defences'. It continues to say the Council will work with the developer and us to ensure appropriate flood mitigation measures can be delivered. As set out in our representations to Policy BFR3, this has yet to be demonstrated.
