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

Representation Summary:

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".

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove the site from the LDP.
