Reference should be made to the Essex and Southend Replacement Waste Plan (RWLP) and the Essex Replacement Minerals Local Plan (RMLP), as these form part of the Development Plan for Brentwood Borough, and are a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The RMLP was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for examination in July 2013. The RWLP is presently at Preferred Approach stage and is being considered for compliance with provisions set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

We seek the assurance that Conservation Area Appraisal recommendations when accepted will be implemented and that the Local Plan will reflect the importance of this. The need for a robust procedure to be introduced for Locally Listed properties also needs to appear in the Local Plan to give greater protection to 'at risk' buildings.

PARAGRAPH 1.26 and related parts:
A major concern with any plan to expand Brentwood is road capacity. The plan recognises the above average car usage in the area. The plan, as it stands, seems to hint at encouraging alternative transport usage. This is totally unrealistic and can only help at the margin. The plan MUST include a RADICAL proposal for ROAD TRANSPORT to be implemented ahead of any further residential or commercial building. Please cancel the consultation until the road plan is available, otherwise the only comment can be 'it won't work with the current road system'.
A major concern with any plan to expand Brentwood is road capacity. The plan recognises the above average car usage in the area. Realistically this is not going to change. The plan, as it stands, seems to hint at encouraging alternative transport usage. This is totally unrealistic and can only help at the margin.
The plan MUST include a RADICAL proposal for ROAD TRANSPORT to be implemented ahead of any further residential or commercial building.
Brentwood's roads are already grossly overcrowded at times and existing schemes to improve traffic flow have, in my view, been a complete failure. This particularly true of the use of William Hunter Way as the main route through town. You are now proposing to make WHW even busier without, it seems, any thought how car and commercial vehicle traffic can be accommodated. Shenfield is even worse and Crossrail will only encourage more traffic from beyond the area.
More radical action is needed, for instance, direct access to the A12 directly from the A128 would substantially reduce the need for many vehicles to go through Brentwood to reach the A12 and M25. The A12 also needs 3 lanes.
Please cancel the consultation until the road plan is available, otherwise the only comment can be 'it won't work with the current road system'.
