The City Council raises concerns that the economic benefits of Crossrail have not been fully explored or incorportated in BBC's Preferred Options Document. There should be dedicated policies that seek to drive development derived from the potentially substantial economic benefits that Crossrail will bring to the Borough, with a clear focus on Brentwood Town Centre.

There is no reference Crossrail. The Council should plan to ensure that we capitalise on the advantages for attracting business/commerce and improving access to Brentwood and Shenfield, for example to use sport and leisure facilities and other possibilities.

Respondent: Thurrock Borough Council

Thurrock Council considers the role and potential economic benefits of Crossrail with regard to development at Shenfield has not been fully assessed and incorporated as part of the Preferred options.

The LP makes reference to a "Park and walk" scheme but contains no specifics strategy or policies to direct and support growth at Shenfield. It is considered that this needs to be investigated. The implications of the potential to accommodate more growth and associated infrastructure requirements need to considered with some weight as a way of meeting the undersupply of housing requirement currently identified in the Brentwood Local Plan.

The only recognition of Crossrail within the Local Plan is a proposed 'Park and Walk' scheme. The social and economic opportunities have not been explored as a way to address the Borough's growth pressures and this is at odds with the limited growth being proposed in Shenfield, when in reality, Crossrail improvements at Shenfield are likely to make the area more accessible as a place to live and work, supporting additional jobs/homes to help Brentwood meet its OAN. It is recommended that Crossrail be explored further and it is questionable whether the current strategy is the most appropriate for Brentwood.

Essex CCC notes the numerous references to Crossrail in the Plan and the opportunity this will bring to the retail and leisure offer for Shenfield. However, it is unclear as to whether any reports have been commissioned to consider and identify any opportunities for improving the retail offer and its environment at Shenfield.

Essex County Council would recommend that the social and economic benefits and strategic importance of Crossrail be explored in relation to the emerging spatial strategy. Essex County Council welcomes reference to crossrail as set out at criteria H.

To suggest that the Submission version of the Plan should contain a more detailed analysis of the implications of Crossrail, including the prospects for housing provision on any sites that may become available for redevelopment is noted.

The Councils commitment to fostering local economic growth and for development that diversify and grow the economy is welcomed.

We are however disappointed that the policy does not recognise the contribution that tourism can make to the local economy, growth prospects and the provision of new jobs. An additional criterion should be added to the policy confirming the Borough Council's support for proposals which increase visitor numbers to the Borough and/or which provide visitor accommodation.

We commend the Council's commitment to fostering economic growth and, in particular, the support expressed for development that diversifies, and grows, the local economy.

Policy CP11: Strong and Competitive Economy is a proactive
Policy and generally supportive to business development but the School would like
to add to the criteria with:
i. Recognising the contribution that educational establishments and emerging
technology development can make to the local economic growth.

Again, within the justification by reference to the evidence base and number of
Schools and educational establishments the importance of this sector to
employment opportunities in the Borough should be highlighted.

Retail development can make a significant contribution to economic development and intensification of vacant and under-utilised sites. We therefore support the recognition of job growth by retail proposals as part of this policy. We recommmend criterio (e ) be amended as attached.

We support this policy approach and note in particular the sentiments of Policy CP 11 which seeks to capitalise on the economic benefits that arise from Crossrail. We maintain the view that economic development requires the delivery of new homes as well as the creation of jobs and workplaces. Whilst the Borough does have existing constraints in terms of Green Belt, it is important to provide sufficient sites in and around the main centres to meet housing need and economic growth requirements. A review of the Green Belt boundary is therefore essential.

This policy fails to recognise that there will be instances where floorspace cannot be re-let for continuing employment use. We object to the policy by its omission to confirm thee maybe instances where the re-use of existing employment sites which are not able to attract new users is acceptable. This is contrary to DM6 andthe rules of exception. We object to existing employment land allocations being carried over from the previous plan, without consideration of how existing employment sites contribute to the employment supply or how they maybe suitable for other uses.

This representation has been submitted and sets out why land to the north of the A1023 (Shenfield) should be allocated for a hospitality/leisure use with the opportunity for Park and Ride as part of the emerging Local Plan.
