Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15761
Received: 11/05/2016
Respondent: Essex County Council
Acknowledged that the Draft Local Plan is an emerging document and that on-going commissioning and publication of evidence base is necessary to inform the next iteration of the Plan. The Council will need to be satisfied that the Local Plan is supported by a proportionate evidence base and that all reasonable alternatives have been considered. As part of `duty to cooperate' ECC would seek further clarification needed on a number of issues with the Spatial Strategy:
- How the A127 corridor provides more opportunities for growth than the A12 corridor;
- Identification of any cross border implications of the spatial strategy given its role as highway, education, minerals and waste authority; and
- Identification of what infrastructure is necessary to deliver the spatial strategy, strategic and individual site allocations.
