| Decision :- | (a) That the Cabinet endorses the Greater Essex Integrated County Strategy and welcomes the Strategy’s strong focus on renewable energy and in particular a wind port related development as one of the key opportunities for economic growth in Essex. (b) That the further and significant expansion of Colchester at its edges to the North of the town and towards Stanway is welcomed but the expansion on the boundary with Tendring is not. (c) That the regeneration and economic development landscape has changed dramatically during the period when the Strategy was being drafted, in particular through the emergence of the Essex, Kent and East Sussex Local Enterprise Partnership which provides an opportunity for a strong focus on the needs of coastal towns and ports as well as rural areas and that the County Council be requested to work with this Council’s Officers to draw-up a joint action plan for the delivery of the Strategy’s commitment to coastal towns in Tendring with a particular focus on the housing needs of Clacton and Jaywick. (d) That Officers identify the actions necessary to seek to achieve Assisted Areas Status for Tendring when it is next reviewed and that the County Council is requested to continue to work closely with this Council to achieve it. |
