Representation Summary:
Historic completion rates is not an excuse for failing to produce a local plan. The lack of new building in Brentwood is unlikely to be the consequence of lack of demand as the LPA's own comments but more likely the result of a lack of suitable sites or that sites that have been given permission have proved difficult to develop. Although the LPA makes much of an increasing gap between planning permissions given and the level of completions, the latest assessment of the supply of land available for housing development is 2.67 years, well below the NPPF's 5 year requirement.
