Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)
Representation ID: 23427
Received: 23/04/2019
Respondent: Dr Maria Faraone
A robust and balanced vision for the future to ensure all of the community's needs are accounted for. The regular updating of a 'Specialist Accommodation Report' will help ensure this continues to be fair. Grouping elderly, disabled and the Gypsy and Traveller as specialist accommodation does well to ensure there is a considered and targeted approach without being exclusionary. The consideration for accommodation for those no longer travelling means that Brentwood is a leader in recognizing the true needs of all members of its community. Overall the Local Plan incorporates all the critical issues of environment, demographic changes, social and economic forecasting. This is an excellent Local Plan and represents what is hopefully a new trend for planning for local authorities in England.
