Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15637
Received: 10/05/2016
Respondent: Basildon Borough Council
Basildon Borough Council has prepared a Gypsy and Traveller Site Potential Study, in order to identify the available supply of land for the provision of pitches for Gypsy and Travellers within Basildon Borough. This assessment was unable to identify sufficient land for such purposes, giving rise to an un-met need of 136 pitches as set out in the Council's Draft Local Plan which is currently out for consultation until 24th March 2016. In progressing their Local Plan, Brentwood Borough Council, as a neighbouring LPA to Basildon, is strongly requested to cooperate with Basildon Borough Council in helping to make provision for this un-met need, and is asked to give further consideration to evidence as to how this un-met need, or a proportion thereof, could be met within the Brentwood Borough area.
