The Local Investment Plan is the mechanism through which the Council and the Homes and Communities Agency will jointly determine the Government's future housing and regeneration funding allocations to specific projects in Tendring. The first LIP was agreed and signed by both partners in early 2011. It was one of the first to be signed in Essex.

Four key areas of Tendring have been identified for investment/development:-

· Harwich with a focus on the windport development opportunities

· Jaywick

· Clacton

· Walton

The relative priority of each area will be the subject on on-going review as the delivery timescales associated with each are very different. The Plan needs to be flexible to enable partners to react to changing circumstances and give them the ability to maximise opportunities as they arise.

The Plan includes details of key investment sites that have been identified through a range of Regeneration Frameworks for each of these areas. Many have been the subject of financial and viability appraisals as part of the development of the relevant Framework document. In a number of cases they have also been the subject of soft market testing to establish their attractiveness to the private sector. In a majority of cases a funding gap has been identified which through the LIP and further specific project appraisals the Council will be seeking HCA support.
