"Brentwood will grow sustainably with new development directed to locations well served by local services and facilities to help further improve existing and new residents' quality of life. This will be achieved by realising opportunities to enhance the quality and character of places and provision of facilities, and minimising the negative impacts of development on people, the environment and resources."

Support subject to amendments
Proposed amendment(s): The reference to 'niche shopping' should be amended to simply read 'shopping', reflecting that fact that the former is only part of the retail offer in Brentwood town centre The text should be amended to include a reference to the opportunity for new residential development in the town centre, taking advantage of Crossrail and making an important contribution to housing supply.

General support is given for the Vision as it emphasises, in line with the NPPF (paragraph's 17, 19 and 21), the Plan's support for growing the economy and fostering development which responds to "local community needs". It should be noted that local community needs should be met at a settlement specific level.
1.3 Despite supporting the Vision, it is not considered that the wording and approach contained within the consultation document reflects this Vision to support "local community needs". Accordingly, this will be commented on throughout these representations.

General support is given for growing the economy and fostering development in response to "local community needs".

We also note that at the other villages (beyond Policy SP1) "limited" development should take place at a level commensurate with services and facilities. In the interest of clarity and in accordance with the overall Vision, it is considered that the word "limited" be deleted to support the NPPF's goal to boost significantly the supply of housing and that the 'limit' for such development should be defined by OAN at a settlement specific level, as derived from Government's population and household projections.
