The larger the scale of an allocation on this site (i.e. nearer the 6,000 unit maximum), the further west it would push Basildon, giving rise to coalescence with West Horndon. Brentwood Borough's residual requirement (minus 2,500 brownfield capacity from 5,500 OAN) an allocation of this size runs the very serious risk of unduly depriving the remainder of Brentwood Borough of the growth it needs to develop throughout the Plan period. To deliver the Garden Suburb. 6,000 units, an approach would be unsustainable because it would fail to plan properly for the needs of Brentwood Borough as a whole, and in particular those locations where there is an identified requirement for locally generated need which cannot be accommodated solely on suitable brownfield land, such as Blackmore.
