We have no issue with developments requiring a Green Travel Plan, however clarification is sought regarding how a Travel Plan is proposed to link the site with Brentwood, Shenfield, West Horndon and Dunton Hills Garden Village. If this means that the Travel Plan should consider green/sustainable links to these places, we would suggest that the policy should be reworded accordingly.

Site 101A represents a new strategic employment allocation whereas the land at Codham Hall North (101B) consists of the allocation of existing employment uses. For this reason, as set out elsewhere in this representation, we consider it more appropriate to cover the requirements for site 101A within the Policy 8.2 and cover site 101B within the general employment allocations within the plan. Whilst the sites will have a complementary role this better reflects the role that these sites will play in meeting employment needs and the strategic employment provided at Junction 29.

Pragraph 8.19 should use "enterprise park" rather than "business park" given the intended nature of the uses. Paragraph 8.20 amendments should be made to cover the strategic employment allocation and the allocation of the existing employment sites separately within the plan.

Support the ambition to develop new key strategic employment sites but this needs to be set within the wider context of Brentwood's Spatial Strategy, and any location is consistent with the criteria in Policy 8.3 - Employment Development Criteria and Policy 10.1 - Sustainable Transport, which seeks to ensure future developments are located in accessible locations reducing the need to travel.

Whilst the provision of additional employment space is supported, the Council need to justify the allocation of the former M25 Works Site. It is understood that the M25 works site was created as a temporary facility under the General Permitted Development Order and the Highways Act 1980 and has a requirement to be returned to its original state at the completion of the works, which ceased several years ago and the land should now be in agricultural use. As such, the site should not be considered or referred to as 'previously developed' or brownfield land within the Local Plan.

It is also questioned why Land at Codham Hall 101B is being put forward for allocation and additional expansion of the industrial site within the Green Belt, whereas sites such as East Horndon Hall Industrial Estate have not even been allocated for employment purposes. In regard to its impact on the purposes of the Green Belt, the Council's published assessment results in a similar overall assessment between the two sites. It is considered that consistency should be made by the Council in their consideration of employment sites, particularly where there is little difference between the impacts of the allocation on the Green Belt purposes.

Object to the Enterprise Park for potentially significant transport implications and adverse impact on Havering's section of the A127 which is already at or close to capacity in the peak periods in both directions. Concerned about the adverse impact on the green belt. Whilst it is noted that the site has been previously developed, the proposal will significantly increase the quantum of development on the site and therefore impact on the function of the green belt and its openness.

The area lies entirely within the green belt area. The Council have allowed their two "quadrants" to be degraded by creeping industrialization both north and south of the A127 on land owned by Codham Hall Farm. Should development go forward, a scheme of permanently evergreen screening tree species and landscaping will need to accompany this.
