Representation ID: 359

Received: 23/09/2013

Respondent: Stondon Massey Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Stondon Massey Parish Council objects to vacant allocated employment land at Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate. Instead this site should be used to provide a group of homes for elderly people with on-site medical support and constant care.

Full text:

Stondon Massey Parish Council has questioned the development of the three plus hectare site situated close to Hallsford Bridge into a commercial site rather than a residential site for affordable homes.

Following discussion, Stondon Massey Parish Council has an alternative suggestion having studied the Brentwood Borough Council Local Plan document.

PROPOSAL:
That the site is used to construct a group of homes for elderly people with on-site medical support and constant care.

ADVANTAGES:
- A facility for Brentwood residents where the life expectancy is increasing.
- A facility that would enable elderly residents to leave their current property which could be used to cover the growing Brentwood Borough housing need.
- A facility that provides local employment caring for the residents.

CONCLUSION:
Stondon Massey Parish Council has concluded that this proposal covers many of the issues addressed in the Brentwood Borough Council Local Plan and hope that the proposal will be considered.
