Policy H1 - The efficient use of land for housing
Representation ID: 16190
Received: 02/11/2009
Respondent: Inner London Group
Agent: Christopher Wickham Associates
The approach of prioritising the re-use of previously developed land is sound and supported. The redevelopment of vacant industrial land at Stambridge Mills and at the former Star Lane Brickworks site (part of Star Lane Industrial Estate) will reduce the need to release Green Belt land, and will allow for the removal of contamination, the re-use of existing on-site materials, and the environmental and ecological enhancement of the sites and their surroundings. In respect of Stambridge Mills, the need to satisfy the PPS25 exceptions test follows the successful completion of the sequential test.

Policy H2 - Extensions to residential envelopes and phasing

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.

Policy H3 - Extension to residential envelopes post-2021

Development at West Great Wakering would be visually intrusive, and would not relate satisfactorily to the existing Green Belt boundary and other features. This would be contrary to the advice in PPG 2. Any extension of the residential envelope of Great Wakering should be to the south-west of the settlement. This would approach, which would limit the sprawl of the settlement, would relate successfully to the previously developed land at Star Lane, and would be visually contained by existing development boundaries to the west, north and east.

Policy H6 - Lifetime Homes

Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The requirement for all development to meet Lifetime Homes (LH) Standards is unreasonable and unsound, in particular when applied to large housing schemes. In such developments, it is reasonable to provide a proportion of units to LH standards but not all occupiers will require such flexibility.

Policy ED3 - Existing Employment Land
Representation ID: 16213
Received: 02/11/2009
Respondent: Inner London Group
Agent: Christopher Wickham Associates
The re-allocation of the sites at Stambridge Mills and Star Lane Industrial Estate is supported. Both Stambridge Mills and the former brickworks site at Star Lane (part of the Star Lane Industrial Estate site) have long been vacant. The redevelopment of these sites will minimise the need to release Green Belt land, and will allow for the removal of contamination, the re-use of existing on-site materials, and the environmental and ecological enhancement of the land and surrounding areas.
