Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 22439

Received: 18/03/2019

Respondent: Essex County Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

3. Effective.

In respect of DHGV, ECC strongly support the masterplan approach and the reference to Garden City Principles, together with the integration of the provision of education, employment space and community facilities within the site allocation. However due to its location the site will need to reply upon and embed sustainable transport measures, as required in the DHGV policies, to mitigate impacts on the highway network. Such measures will be informed by the outputs of the transport evidence, which is still to be completed.

Change suggested by respondent:

BBC need to include within the Plan evidence, particularly in respect of transport, the site specific, local and cumulative impact on the local and strategic transport network, to demonstrate that the spatial strategy is the most appropriate.
