Housing

The South Essex Thames Gateway sub-region is crucial to the UK economy, has a rising population, and exhibits all the issues that are central to strategic housing policy.

Our Vision : "To deliver quality housing that contributes to sustainable communities and a balanced housing market."

• Maximise the housing development potential of the Thames riverfront, whilst enhancing its recreational use and protecting its bio-diversity.

• Encourage inward migration of skilled worker and enhance the skills of the wider workforce, ensuring that housing growth meets their diverse needs

• Ensure Thames Gateway planned population growth benefits all residents not just newcomers by for example developing the local skills base to maximise take up of new jobs
