Have your say!

A planning application for the regeneration of the whole estate has already been submitted to Southend-on-Sea Borough Council. This sets out the overall layout, design principles, and numbers of new homes. Hundreds of people responded to our public consultation on this application.

Next a series of detailed planning applications for the smaller areas (or phases) that make up the site will be put together, starting with the area around where Quantock currently stands.

We are consulting residents on the “reserved matters” (details that aren’t covered by the larger application for the whole estate) for Phase 1 between 25 November and 8 December 2020.

We would be interested to hear any feedback, comments, or thoughts you have while viewing the consultation materials. In particular, we are interested in your thoughts on the following questions:

• Does the architecture shown and described in the consultation materials reflect the new neighbourhood that you hoped the Better Queensway project would create?
• How would you like to use the residents’ shared space if you lived in one of the new buildings?
• What do you think about the layout of the park and its facilities? Is there anything you would like to see that we haven’t included?
• Do you like the layouts shown in the drawings of the flats that we are proposing? How would you like your home laid out if you were to move into one of these new homes?
