Respondent: Persimmon Homes Essex
Disagree with the SHMA's conclusion that Brentwood Borough can be considered a self-contained housing market area. Brentwood is within easy access to London and the M25 making it a popular place for commuters, especially with the coming of Crossrail. This should be considered in determining housing needs in the borough. With London not being able to meet its housing needs, the surrounding area will be required to make up this shortfall. Brentwood Council need to consider the implication of the projected shortfall in housing delivery in the GLA. The inclusion of reserved sites can assist in case the OANs change or the Council cannot demonstrate the 5year housing land supply.
