The proposed 2013 spatial strategy, based on the lack of capacity in the Brentwood urban area and north of the borough in terms of infrastructure and a higher landscape value. The A127 Corridor presents an opportunity to improve the capacity of the above, as well as create a sustainable community in the south of the borough and in neighbouring Basildon. As a result of changes since 2013, the level of growth required is now higher, specifically the need to meet objectively assessed housing need. For this reason alone, we consider there is merit for the whole borough to accommodate varying amounts of this growth, with a significant amount of housing and employment focused along the A127 Corridor.
