Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)
Representation ID: 22557
Received: 18/03/2019
Respondent: Gerald Downey
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Test of Soundness.
Summary:
Delivery forecast of 1-5 years is not feasible given previous representation 15459 from Thames Water (Mr Mark Matthews [6089]) who have "concerns over wastewater Services at this site. Specifically, the wastewater network capacity is unlikely to be able to support the demand anticipated from this development. ...It is important not to under estimate the time required to deliver necessary infrastructure. ...local network upgrades can take between 18months - 3 years to design and deliver".
Has this and other turnaround times been taken into account?
I question if this site meets the NPPF definition of "deliverable".
Remove the site from the LDP.
