Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Representation ID: 376

Received: 02/10/2013

Respondent: JTS Partnership LLP

Representation Summary:

We note that the overriding priority given to protecting the Green Belt means that the Council has chosen not to plan for 'objectively assessed housing needs'. As such, we consider that Brentwood Council may find it difficult to convince an
Inspector that the Plan is 'sound. It is our view that the Plan would be more robust if the Council could find additional housing sites, consistent with the Spatial Strategy set out in the policy, and if it also undertook a limited review of the Green Belt, in order to remove that land which clearly serves no Green Belt function.
