Notes
(1) Brentwood Local Plan 2016-2033, adopted March 2022.

(2) The location and boundary of the sites are presented in the CIL Variable Rates Map 1 below.

(3) Site referred to within the CIL Viability Assessment Update (August 2022) as Officer's Meadows.

(4) Older people's housing is defined as:

Retirement living or sheltered housing: This usually consists of purpose-built flats or bungalows with limited communal facilities such as a lounge, laundry room and guest room. It does not generally provide care services, but provides some support to enable residents to live independently. This can include 24 hour on-site assistance (alarm) and a warden or house manager.
Extra care housing or housing-with-care: This usually consists of purpose-built or adapted flats or bungalows with a medium to high level of care available if required, through an onsite care agency registered through the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Residents are able to live independently with 24 hour access to support services and staff, and meals are also available. There are often extensive communal areas, such as space to socialise or a wellbeing centre. In some cases, these developments are known as retirement communities or villages – the intention is for residents to benefit from varying levels of care as time progresses.
