Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP)

SCAAP Issues and Options Document (June 2010)

The Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP) Issues and Options document was consulted on from 21 June to 9 August 2010 and represented the first formal stage of consultation. The purpose of the Issues and Options stage was to give more detailed consideration to how and where employment-led regeneration and growth could be sustainably accommodated in the town centre, central seafront area and surrounding neighbourhoods.

The Council wanted to gather the public and stakeholder’s views about the general direction of proposed policy to meet issues specific to Southend Central Area, including the town centre, central seafront area and surrounding neighbourhoods. The City Council put forward a suggested approach for each policy theme as part of the consultation alongside reasonable alternative options. The process has provided local people with the opportunity to shape the look and feel of Southend Central Area and its communities. The responses received at this stage informed the production of the Southend Central Area Action Plan Proposed Submission (superseded) (2011).
