Clarity is required for both applicants and decision makers in relation to the policy requirement criterion 3.b. for ‘quietway’ cycle routes connecting transfer hubs.
As currently drafted the policy provides limited detail and the supporting text provides no guidance on what a ‘quietway’ cycle route is and their locations, or what a transfer hub is and their locations.
BBC should include appropriate wording within the supporting text to address this.

Criterion 1.f. of Policy R13 seeks to ensure retention of public parking spaces sufficient to meet overall town centre public parking needs. BCC should be satisfied that this can be achieved and does not conflict with other polices in the Local Plan, such as BE13 Sustainable Means of Travel and Walkable Streets and BE17 Parking Standards.
This reflects ECC’s Reg.19 Rep 22467.

ECC as Lead Local Flood Authority for BBC consider inclusion of supporting text for site specific policies, including references to specific Critical Drainage Areas (CDAs) that affect development, provides clarity to applicants/decisions makers of need for consideration of CDAs at beginning of planning process.
Replace Paragraph 9.149 to ensure factual representation of current flooding position, in line with paragraphs 159 and 160 of NPPF.
This reflects ECC’s Reg.19 Rep 22461, position in Statement of Common Ground (F17D) between BBC and ECC, and position in ECC’s Hearing Statement G7AN – paragraph 1.4.

The changes a) contradicted with the commitment in the Plan as originally submitted to retain the existing level of public parking spaces. b) presented a commitment to deliver a currently unknown level of parking on-site. This could not possibly allay prior concerns about deliverability, and cannot be proven sound by any means. And this is all despite the fact that the level of Town Centre parking needs is a crucial factor in
the viability of the borough's main shopping centre, and its economy. BBC policies should be
aligning the economic needs of Brentwood businesses and the Council’s finances and policy.
