Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 3371
Received: 13/09/2013
Respondent: Castle Point Borough Council
Representation Summary:
Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that it is not possible to meet the objectively assessed need for housing in the Brentwood area. The draft Local Plan only makes provision for 233 homes per annum. This has implications for the Thames Gateway South Essex Housing Market Area as a result of the failure to accommodate sufficient growth in Brentwood, this will force people to look for homes elsewhere in Essex with good connectivity to London. Placing increased pressure on the Thames Gateway South Essex HMA, which includes Castle Point, as well as Brentwood's neighbours Basildon and Thurrock.
