Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)
Representation ID: 22362
Received: 18/03/2019
Respondent: Rochford District Council
The Council is broadly supportive of policy PC07 and considers it to be in general accordance with national policy and other local and national objectives. The Council considers the sequential approach taken to prioritising the siting of such uses to be appropriate and supports the use of a retail hierarchy that principally prioritises the siting of such uses in Brentwood's town centres. It is recognised, however, that Brentwood Borough Council may need to review its policy approach early to reflect the retail and leisure strategies of the emerging South Essex Joint Strategic Plan.
