Respondent: Persimmon Homes Essex
Representation Summary:
In order to require internal space standards, LPAs have to take into account need, viability and timing, supported by evidence.
There does not appear to be evidence of work undertaken by Brentwood Council which asses the need, viability and timing of adopting internal space standards. It is unclear as to the rationale for the need of this policy; the impact upon the viability of development alongside the cumulative impact of other policies that place a financial burden on the development and the policy is silent on timing and any transitional period. For these reasons, policy 7.8 is considered unsound.
