We analysed the responses and published an Initial Engagement Outcomes report revealing how the community feel’s about where they live.
Initial Engagement Outcomes report 2023
We will use these responses to prepare the Castle Point Plan and will engage on the options for addressing the issues raised in the summer of 2024.
Results updated 20 Dec 2023
Thank you to all those residents who took the time to give us their views.
We had responses from 1,481 local people, and we are now working our way through each of the responses to understand what you have said and what the key issues are for the Castle Point Plan.
We expect to publish the results of this survey later in the Autumn, and will update this page then.
In the meantime, there is the opportunity to continue to let us know what you think about specific issues by visiting the main engagement page

Overview
The Council is talking and listening to communities across Castle Point to ensure residents’ views are central to shaping the borough in the coming decades.
Understanding what people value and would like to see improve in their area, will be at the heart of a plan to guide development up to 2050.
Once complete the Castle Point Plan will act as a framework to help inform planning decisions and the Council has pledged to give the communities in Castle Point a strong voice in determining what will happen where they live.
The plan will be about much more than simply coming to a figure for the number of houses needed in the district. It will ensure that any development, be it housing, commercial or industrial, meets the needs of the communities in Castle Point and reflects the vision of local people for the area.
The plan will define what the needs of residents are including:
- The types of industrial and commercial spaces required.
- Infrastructure requirements such as roads, shops and healthcare services.
- What green space and outdoor amenities should be protected and, where possible, enhanced.
- The types and sizes of homes and affordable housing.
It will also outline where the most appropriate locations are to accommodate these needs.
A plan such as this can only be created with broad and in-depth engagement with all sections of the Castle Point community at every stage of its development.
Why your views matter
This survey is the start of a series of engagement activities that will take place between March and July 2023 to help the Council understand what local residents and local communities think about their towns and the places where they live.
We want to find out what what people value about where they live, as well as what they would like to see improve in their area. We want to put these things at the heart of the Castle Point Plan.
This is about your community and we want to hear your views. We value your involvement and look forward to receiving your comments.
