Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13139

Received: 22/02/2016

Respondent: Mr. Michael R. M. Newman

Representation Summary:

039 & 040 suggest the re-use of two car-parking areas for residential property. The council should bare in mind that parking in the centre of Brentwood is already difficult to find and shoppers traveling by car need to be able to park to visit the shopping centre. If the number and variety of shops is intended to increase and attrract more shopper to the area, this need will only grow. Removing car parking facilities and not replacing them will create a major shortage of parking in Brentwood centre.
