The Council has identified the provision of additional land for employment uses at Codham Hall and Childerditch Industrial Estate, however, these sites are small employment sites in the countryside rather than purpose built facilities, and are significantly constrained by their accesses. The Local Plan fails to consider whether these sites are suitable for certain businesses and this needs to be addressed in the next iteration of the Local Plan.
Therefore even though the quantum of land identified at Brentwood Enterprise Park meets the quantitative need of replacing West Horndon Industrial Estate,the Brentwood Enterprise Park will not provide for small and medium sized businesses or non confirming green belt uses.
The site at East Horndon could provide immediately deliverable employment land which will accommodate the uses not provided for in the current version of the Local Plan.
