Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 14097

Respondent: Zada Capital
The Draft Plan failes to deliver what it proposes in section 6.4 by proposing to build over 40% of new homes away from the Shenfield and Brentwood areas, areas that are not readily accessible to Brentwood or Shenfield. The Draft Plan is ignoring the key areas of the Borough whilst concentrating housing in Dunton and West Horndon.
The importance of Crossrail should not be underestimated, hence why there should be significant investment and development in the surrounding area of Shenfield and Hutton. Chelmsford Council, before becoming a City, recognised the importance of its rail station and constructed 2 park and ride sites to allow for commuters from both sides of the city. The Council should look at this and concentrate on Shenfield and Brentwood instead of outlying areas like Dunton.
