The SHMA for Brentwood was prepared in 2013 and redated 2014. It does not take account of the latest household projections nor consider an appropriate Housing Market Area. The notion that Brentwood is a self-contained district lacks credibility when the OAN report itself attests to the Borough's strong inter-connectivity with Essex and London. The Borough is located with the London Arc and the construction of Crossrail will only increase this connectivity. The HBF and others consider that Brentwood should be assessed in a joint SHMA with Basildon, Chelmsford and Epping Forest. It is unclear how the Council has engaged with the Mayor of London and the London Boroughs on the matter of migration.
