Full text:

The Council is broadly supportive of Policy BE13 and acknowledges the importance of ensuring new developments are well supported by sustainable transport options. Policy BE13 is considered to broadly align with national policy and legislative requirements. Brentwood Borough Council, informed by Essex County Council and other partners, should satisfy itself and the Inspector that Policy BE13 will be positive and effective in ensuring that both planned and unplanned growth will be supported by suitable and convenient sustainable transport options and that therefore growth, as a whole, will have limited dependency on use of less sustainable transport options (e.g. use of the private car).
