In identifying the A127 corridor as the other key axis, the Spatial Strategy is reliant upon the delivery of a significant level of growth away from where the vast majority of housing and employment needs of the Borough are derived.
The Local Plan proposes that more than half of the total allocations are located in the A127 corridor. There is an imbalance here. Therefore, if further growth is necessary as representations made in relation to housing need and requirement suggest, the Central Brentwood Growth Corridor should be considered first, ahead of any further growth within the A127 corridor.
Further growth should be directed towards the Central Brentwood Growth Corridor
Growth Strategy
Hallam Land Management support the strategy of growth within the Central Brentwood Growth Corridor as it maximises the benefits of the existing sustainable transport corridors (the A12, the Great Eastern Main Line, and the Elizabeth Line). Development within and on the edge of the existing Brentwood urban area has the most propensity to benefit from these corridors, and it is where the majority of housing and employment needs are derived from.
