Strategic Growth Options

The Interim SA for the Local Plan considers the Garden Suburb proposal against the other alternative growth options in the Borough. Why, therefore, does the Garden Suburb SA document not do the same? We are concerned with this key omission from the SA/HRA because it is currently not yet understood what sustainability implications a proposal of this size, in this location, would have upon the growth prospects of the rest of Brentwood Borough. Furthermore, we are concerned that a Garden Suburb proposal could form part of a Submission Local Plan, generally considered as an advanced stage in the process, the next stage in Brentwood Borough Council's Local Plan process (Interim SA para 15.1.1), without having previously been tested or consulted upon. We would therefore welcome the publication of a revised SA/HRA for the Garden Suburb proposals
