Draft Local Plan

On review of the Green Belt boundary Ford are aware of the challenge facing Brentwood BC with regards to allocating land for development - it is apparent that there is considerable pressure on the Green Belt to accommodate such growth. In addition, the Draft Local Plan identifies the requirement to identify land for a further 5,000 new jobs over the plan period, increasing the pressure on Brentwood BC to identify land for development. The need for Brentwood BC to identify additional land for housing and employment is also required in order to address cross-boundary pressures such as London's future growth.
Ford believe that the arrival of Crossrail will also result in an increase in people both living and working in the Borough - therefore placing further pressure on land for development.
