Respondent: Mrs Helen Whalley

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Brentwood Council has not stated what planning principle is being used to allocate the development of the Villages in the north of the borough. There are several rural communities and I am concerned that Blackmore is being allocated more than its fair share of new housing which will change the rural character of the village Section 2.10 of the Settlement Hierarchy chapter of the LDP states 'Development should be appropriate to the rural setting of the area.'

Change suggested by respondent:

A clear, fair and evidence based strategy to be stated for the allocation of new housing in Villages in the north of the borough
