Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Respondent: Basildon Borough Council
Basildon Borough Council is generally supportive of the approach Brentwood has taken, in identifying its employment land and job requirements, as informed by the
Brentwood Economic Futures 2013-2033. Whilst it appears that at a highlevel, the level of employment land allocations is broadly sufficient to ensure that the Council meets its overall forecast employment land needs, which is supported, Basildon does not unconditionally support the proposed location of new employment within the DHGV. further evidence to justify the planning rationale for the proposed DHGV's employment location is urgently required to avoid it negatively affecting the soundness of the Local Plan.
