Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 22280

Received: 18/03/2019

Respondent: Essex County Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

2. Justified

Reference to Green Wedges on the Key Diagram is confusing in this context. There is no policy within the Local Plan providing such a designation, and it is unclear what their role and/or function are.

There does not appear to be any evidence to demonstrate that these areas require a separate designation, or why they have been specifically identified. Furthermore, these areas are within the open countryside and are covered by Green Belt.

Change suggested by respondent:

Delete reference to Green Wedge on the diagram and in its key.
