HRA Land Review Phase 4 - Lundy Close: Survey Feedback

The residents online survey closed after having been live for four weeks from 12th July 2021 and the responses have been collated. The survey picked up on the themes identified in the 2019 residents’ consultation to explore further. The key areas addressed were as follows:

· Importance of public space

· Environmental impact

· Nature and wildlife

· Traffic and parking

All residents in Lundy Close were advised of the survey in writing and via Your Say Southend and 7% of residents took part.

Survey responses

The following questions received unanimous support with 100% of respondents in favour of the following:

· Tree planting – to create screening and encourage more birds and wildlife

· Enhance green space by providing bee friendly planting

· Renewable design elements (e.g. solar panels, heat pumps)

· Design that lessens the impact on the environment (e.g. rainwater harvesting)

Thank you to those who took part in the consultation and please be assured that your feedback will be fed into the design process. We hope to start discussions with the Local Planning Authority (LPA) regarding the proposal in the coming months. We will contact residents again once initial discussions have taken place with the LPA and we plan to publish further online surveys to find out your views on prospective designs.
