Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 77
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: Chelmsford City Council
SO8 of the Strategic Objectives states that Brentwood Borough Council (BBC) will:
"Plan for housing that meets the needs of the Borough's population and contributes to creating inclusive, balanced, sustainable communities."
SO8 does not correspond with BBC's Spatial Strategy. BBC is not seeking to meet the housing needs of the Borough's population. BBC has rejected Alternative Growth Option 1 - 4,960 to 5,600 dwellings which is equivalent to the Borough's Objectively Assessed Need. The City Council objects to this approach (further detail to follow) however should BBC continue with its preferred Strategy, clearly this Strategic Objective should be removed.
