Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 14830
Received: 22/04/2016
Respondent: Gerald Downey
Representation Summary:
As referenced by Brandon Lewis MP in communication to Rt Hon Sir Eric Pickles MP, The Housing and Planning Bill which is currently going through Parliament will require local authorities to ensure there are sufficient plots with planning permission to meet the local demand shown on the local self-build register. Therefore, the number of self- build plots allocated per site should be proportional to the local demand for self-build within Brentwood, with 5% considered as a minimum. This percentage should be evaluated at the time of any planning application versus the demand noted on the local self-build register once this is in place.
