Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 24156

Received: 23/05/2019

Respondent: Wiggins Gee Homes Ltd

Agent: David Russell Associates

Representation Summary:

We believe this policy is basically sound in expecting some community return for the release of land from the Green Belt, and the creation of defensible boundaries for the longer term beyond the Plan period.
We note the type of community benefits being sought as set out in paragraph 8.114. We have been promoting our client's site at Crow Green Lane, Pilgrims Hatch and have consistently included in our proposals provision for a community facility. The type of facility provided would be determined in consultation with the local community.
Paragraph 8.115 mentions a need for smaller units to provide an option to older people wanting to downsize. Again we have consistently included provision within our proposals to meet exactly this particular housing need.
Policy NE13 calls for proposals on Green Belt allocations to establish long term defensible boundaries. Again we have consistently explained how good defensible boundaries can be established around our client's land.

Change suggested by respondent:

Support the Policy as worded.
