Generally supported. However, also need to allow for flexibility on allocated strategic employment or mixed use sites for an element of retail or commercial provision to enhance sustainability and viability. We consider there is likely to be demand for uses such as a hotel, bank and food and drink to serve business needs. This will assist in creating a sustainable and vibrant enterprise park [Brentwood Enterprise Park, site ref 101A].

Yes.
Q1: No. I question very strongly the need for growth anywhere in Brentwood. The area is already overcrowded, services etc are struggling to cope.

Whilst local shops need to be provided at the village level, primary "destination" shopping locations should be focused within existing town centres.
This contradicts the premise that it is beneficial to develop in west horndon as there is no good service to Brentwood Town centre from West Horndon. Town centre first development must be accompanied by appropriate infrastructure including reliable public transport, car parking and road improvements.

Yes. Having retail outlets in one area makes for an easier and more enjoyable shopping experience/environment. It's also good for competition.
Also the transport links are already there along withcar parking facilities.
Villiages, like Blackmore, have the need for a local shop and Post Office (as it has now) which meet local needs but do not need more shops or big developments.

Yes. I agree with the Town Centre First approach. There are unfortunately many units which remain unused. New development and larger enterprise hopefully will revive the declining High Street. However, as always overlooked in Brentwood, the issue with the limited and expensive parking will be a major downfall unless this too is tackled with more foresight than previously.

Whilst the Town Centre first policy is supported, to absorb current trade surplus and extend retail choice, it is also considered that the emerging policy should make provision for meeting the additional retail needs created by the proposed strategic housing allocations in more outlying locations within the Borough.

Appropriate town centre sites should be allocated to meet growing retail needs in line with housing need. Further clarification needed on how local needs of new strategic residential allocations would be met. Provision is made in the Retail and Commercial Leisure Study (2014) for directing some identified retail floorspace to serve a strategic allocation, which is supported. Local retail need should be met in full, including retail need created by new strategic housing allocation(s). Additional new retail to support strategic sites creates accessible facilities and sustainable shopping patterns, while not to the detriment of Brentwood Town Centre's vitality and viability.

The town centre will always be the centre of the local "Borough" community and must be supported, to avoid local population being attracted out of the Borough to large shopping complexes (e.g. warehouse shopping sites)

Q12: Quality of life, enjoying greenery of a natural environment. Safety for our children to grow up more free, not a built up area - this is why we moved to Blackmore, Woollard Way.
Q13: Don't know.
These questions are very biased and vague.
I do not want Woollard Way - the brownfield area of Green Belt to be developed / built on. This will devastate us. We moved here for the greenery and views. This will devalue our homes, effect our children's freedom and security. A close made into a noisy road would be categorically wrong and devastating. All the children love watching the horses, wildlife in the field next to use, they play out with no through traffic.

Whilst local shops need to be provided at the village level, primary "destination" shopping locations should be focused within existing town centres. Town Centre First retail development must also be accompanied (or preferably, preceeded by) appropriate infrastructure improvements including regular and reliable public transport to all areas including the more rural ones, car parking facilities, and improvements to the road network to prevent unmanageable congestion.

This approach is consistent with the NPPF and is generally supported by Hermes, as it encourages development in the most sustainable way. However, this approach should not undermine efforts to bring forward retail uses as part of the master-planned residential led mixed use development of the West Horndon industrial estates.
Policy for the redevelopment of the industrial estates should be framed in a similar fashion to the preferred options draft of the LDP, which set an objective of an appropriately sized retail offer for West Horndon - and was largely been supported by local residents and the Parish Council.

Empty units in Brentwood do not entice shoppers, nor do the ridiculous parking charges, nor does an imbalance of shops vs eating/drinking establishments - all these points need to be addressed to make the town centre a realistic alternative to the likes of Lakeside.
