With the probable development of the existing industrial estates at West Horndon as primarily residential, it is important that replacement employment opportunities be provided with the local area (A127 Corridor). The sites 101A, 101B and 228 could be the answer but thought must be given to the provision of site access by public transport as well as private means.

Of the three sites mentioned above neither the Council Depot nor Wates way are particularly close to A12 or A127; this should not discount them from being used for commercial development. Additionally Brentwood needs a working population close to the town centre to promote and use the High Street at other times than Nights & Weekends.
However the principle of citing new commercial on Brownfield near to A12 A127 is sound.

Yes, site 101A on the M25/ A127 juction seems ideally suited to light industry/ retail use as good access to transport is esential keeping heavy lorries off minor roads which are already in a poor state of repair with patched tarmac and potholes everywhere.

The problem with the A12 option is that most of the new housing will not be near the A12.

This is obvious. Any place of employment will need deliveries from, all the time to regularly. To place new sites in the town center would be crazy.

New employment opportunities should be located with regard to the strategic transport links. Green initiatives such as safe cycle paths and secure storage areas should be promoted.

With industrial sites in West Horndon expected to be developed then it is key that these are relocated within the
local area. They must however be accessible via public transport as well as road.

First, it is vital that new employment development be for gainful, long-term, skilled employment, otherwise any such development would be essentially subsidising exploitative corporations that use zero-hours contracts. Secondly, it is important that centres for employment should be accessible by public transport -- talk of the strategic highway network implies an expectation that everyone will drive to work, which is not a healthy way of planning for a zero-carbon future. Nonetheless, it is true that brownfield sites close the strategic highway network may well be amenable to employment development, especially if they are not particularly suited to residential development.

With regards to employment land, CCC considers that the approach of linking major
employment sites close to the strategic highway network is reasonable in principle including a new business park adjacent to Junction 29 of the M25 (as contained within the Preferred Options Consultation.

Personally, I'm not convinced that development such as warehousing creates many jobs due to the mechanisation and technology now used in distribution.
I understand that employment is needed but that can be people working in their own homes, in offices, in small workshops, with technology and does not necessarily require require vast buildings. I do not think a large warehouse would be appropriate on the Mountnessing roundabout. If it needs to be developed at all I would imagine that a small area of housing in keeping with the local style would be appropriate.

Only if the council recognises that the strategic highway network with the greatest capacity of road and rail traffic is based around the north of the borough, by the Crossrail links. A prime area for future employment development would be the industrial area off Walsh Road.

The A127 corridor has an overcrowded road and rail system, which would be too costly to upgrade, and take too long. This would prevent businesses and residents from moving to the area, and may even cause existing businesses to seek premises elsewhere when the network breaks down regularly.

It would make most sense for future employment to be met by allocating new sites close to the strategic highways, but it is not clear what the need will be. The borough has the lowest unemployment in Essex, the majority of employment is gained in London. Crossrail will further enhance Brentwood's status as a commuter town, the proportion of people working in London will increase. The need for local employment will be impacted by this. It is likely less land will be needed for local employment. How has the consultation taken this into account? The relevant evidence is not available.
