That the following recommendations of Cabinet be noted:
“1. That all the recommendations within the Inspector’s Report, as set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report, and the revised version of the SCCAP, as set out in Appendix 2 to the report be approved.

(a) the main modifications recommended by the Inspector in his report and agreed for consultation under delegated authority in July 2017 (attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report);

Minutes:
The Cabinet received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) that sought Members approval to recommend that the Council adopts the Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP). If adopted the SCAAP would form part of the Southend Development Plan, providing a set of up-to-date local planning policies for positively managing development and would be used to assess development proposals within the Southend Central Area, including the Town Centre and Central Seafront.
The Chairman acknowledged all the hard work that had been undertaken in preparing the SCAAP and conveyed his thanks and appreciation to the officers concerned.
Recommended:
1. That all the recommendations within the Inspector’s Report, as set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report, and the revised version of the SCCAP, as set out in Appendix 2 to the report be approved.
2. That Council adopts the SCAAP as set out in Appendix 2 to the submitted report, in accordance with Planning Regulations.
3. That it be noted that the SCAAP Proposed Submission version, approved by Council for publication and submission in September 2016, has been amended as per:
(a) the main modifications recommended by the Inspector in his report and agreed for consultation under delegated authority in July 2017 (attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report);
(b) the minor modifications agreed for consultation under delegated authority in July 2017 (attached at Appendix 3 to the submitted report); and
(c) the further minor modifications as set out in Appendix 4 of the submitted report.
Reason for Recommendations
This report recommends that the Cabinet supports the conclusions of the Inspector’s Report and recommend to full Council that the plan be adopted. It is clearly advantageous for the Council to have a new planning policy document in place as soon as possible. This would avoid the risk of new planning applications in the central area being considered without an up-to-date plan – one of the consequences being a lack of certainty regarding where new development will take place in the future and whether such development is appropriate in the Plan area.
Other Options
As set out in the submitted report.
