Consultation has concluded

Southend 2050 is the borough’s ambition for the future, developed through extensive conversations with those that live, work, visit and study in Southend-on-Sea. The Council is committed to providing affordable homes for residents of the borough who are unable to rent or buy on the open market. To meet this commitment, the Council’s Strategic Housing team along with South Essex Homes are currently reviewing council owned garage sites and underused land that have the potential to deliver much needed residential accommodation.

A number of garage sites have been identified within the Eagle Way estate that have the potential to deliver much needed affordable housing. Preliminary site investigation works have indicated that the sites (highlighted below) are capable of development.


Previous Developments

Over the past few years the Council has proactively looked at ways to regenerate its under-utilised garage sites to benefit the residents of the Borough. Recently the Council has taken some of these sites and utilised them for much needed affordable housing, which has improved the quality of the local area

Phase 1 - Shoeburyness (Ashanti, Exeter & Bulwark)

The Council completed developing six former garage sites in Ashanti Close, Exeter Close and Bulwark Road in 2017. The sites which were formerly subject to antisocial behaviour, but now house eighteen affordable homes. Please see below for pictures from the complete development on Phase 1.



Phase 2 - St Laurence Ward (Rochford Road & Audleys Close)

The Council completed the development of two garage sites in the St Laurence Ward in 2019. The two sites were in disrepair and subject to anti-social behaviour. The smaller site, Audleys Close had limitation due to its size, location and an electrical sub station. However we were able to construct a two bedroom wheelchair user compliant bungalow making the best use of the available space (photos below). The larger site on Rochford Road has been developed to house 12 x 2 bedroom flats (4 of which are wheelchair user dwellings), and 3 x 3 bedroom houses. Please see below for photos.
