Southend Council and the Martins were in renewed negotiations about the deal. The newly elected council leader Daniel Cowan blamed the previous administration for assurances that "fell outside of normal practice and were simply not achievable"; the Fossetts Farm housing developer (Citizen Housing) was said to be modelling a new proposal that would help safeguard the council from judicial review. On 14 June 2024, Cowan confirmed the proposed development of up to 1,300 homes had failed the council's due diligence process.

Bashford. Members of Southend Council were equally eager to see some progress. In late May 2000 Council chief executive George Krawiec threw his weight behind the proposals but admitted that he would like to see some progress made on the planning front.
