Representation Summary:
Object to the retention of employment uses at the Site - such a use is not considered an appropriate, or viable. The existing offices at Eagle Way were designed specifically for Ford and are bespoke for the operational and commercial requirements of Ford. It is therefore very unlikely that the Site could continue to support large-scale, modern employment uses of such a scale. The distance from Brentwood and Shenfield train stations would not be an attractive location for commercial investment. Even without the 2ha of retained employment land at the Ford Site, there's enough employment land supply to accommodate requirements.
