Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 233
Received: 29/09/2013
Respondent: Basildon Borough Council
Representation Summary:
It is recommended that a comprehensive review of Brentwood's Green Belt boundaries should be carried out, rather than relying on the broad conclusions drawn from the sub-regional "Heart of Essex Economic Futures" study as the basis for the spatial strategy and the conclusion that the objectively assessed needs cannot be met. Brentwood Borough is not unique in its circumstances to being largely constrained by Green Belt. Basildon Borough Council does not feel it is reasonable for Basildon Borough to accommodate some or all of Brentwood's unmet housing needs, when it faces similar environmental and Green Belt constraints.
