Our site would be suitable for development of 250 houses, which would reduce by over 25% the Council's reliance on windfall sites in the later years of the local plan

I would like to see the smaller developments take place first.
Organic growth will be much less intrusive and will allow the area to slowly digest the changes.
Only when these options have run out should larger developments on Green Belt land be considered. the used of Green Belt should be a last resort.
The local plan does not seem to be very local to the rest of the borough considering of the proposed 5000 new homes 3000 are to be located in just 2 developments at the extreme edges of the borough. And relatively close to each other. So although these areas will have road links the people in them will not see themselves as part of Brentwood. They will gravitate towards other areas or centres. . These developments along with the proposed Enterprise areas in the A127 corridor will put too much strain on the junction of the A127 and the M25. The A127 is already congested. There is no provision for improvement whereas the A12 is being improved. The public transport from West Horndon to Brentwood town centre is infrequent and not fit for purposed if the size of the village is to be doubled. The Dunton Garden development although in the borough boundary will, to all intense purposes, be a development of Basildon (Laindon) and will have no connect physical connection to Brentwood and will have no identity with the Borough. So apart from achieving a quota of housing and gaining some local tax for the borough any additional economic benefits will fall to Basildon. The lack provision of school places in the local areas to these developments will lead to further traffic flows to and from the wider areas.
And in what order will the developments take place?

It is recognised that the Council is deficient in providing a five year supply of housing land. It is therefore important to balance the strategic allocations with smaller sites, as these will generally have fewer constraints and can be delivered quickly to assist with meeting the persistent undersupply of housing in Brentwood.

Re. Horndon Industrial Park. The allocations are welcomed, but as with previous drafts of the local plan the allowance of 500 dwellings continues to be unjustified. This figure is based on a simple density calculation that does not take account of the design constraints affecting the sites.
The supporting documents attached to this representation include draft masterplans and schedule of accommodation which have been subject to robust analysis of design, site and viability constraints - this has resulted in 324 houses and 63 flats.

Request that the next iteration of the plan takes account of the sites [Crest Nicholson's land interests within the allocation for Dunton Hills Garden Village] potential to deliver a substantial number of homes which will contribute to the Borough's five year supply in the early years of the plan period. Our client's land is available now, offers a suitable location for development now, and is clearly achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years.

BBC has sought to be realistic about the likelihood of sites coming forward within the housing trajectory. This seeks to deliver development within urban locations in the short term (p47). Such an approach is supported.

Confirm the ability to bring forward new housing on the Honeypot Lane site in the five-year period.
BLEL suggests that there should be some flexibility to the housing delivery phasing shown in the Draft Local Plan at Appendix 2 and 3 given the need to achieve detailed planning permission for the site in 2017 in order to allow time for the first phase of development to be completed in 2018.
