Addendum of Focussed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan (Regulation 19)

Policy R25: Land North of Woollard Way, Blackmore (page 299)

Representation ID: 26540

Received: 25/10/2019

Respondent: Chelmsford City Council

Representation Summary:

For relevance of Chelmsford, Policy R25 and R26, located in Blackmore have a reduction in the number of dwellings for these site allocations. From 40 to 30 homes for R25, and 30 to 20 homes for R26. The capacity of Policy R01 (Dunton Hills Garden Village Strategic Allocation) has increased from 2,700 to 2,770 to take account of the reduction in numbers from the sites identified. CCC continues to support BBC's proposed approach to housing and employment allocations which are unlikely to have any obvious adverse cross-boundary impacts on Chelmsford.
BBC continues to meet its own housing need within its administrative boundaries and has not approached neighbouring authorities under the Duty to Co-operate to request other authorities help accommodate any unmet needs. This is supported by CCC.

Change suggested by respondent:

No change proposed.

Chelmsford City Council Response to Brentwood Local Plan Addendum of Focussed Changes to Pre-Submission Local Plan, SA and HRA
Chelmsford City Council (CCC) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the focused changes to Brentwood Borough Council (BBC) Regulation 19 Pre-submission Local Plan.
CCC responded to the Regulation 19 Local Plan consultation and as such the comments to this focused review are based solely on the changes highlighted in the consultation document and do not reiterate comments made to the Regulation 19 consultation.
CCC notes the reasons for the focused changes and that the amendments do not alter the Plan's spatial strategy but seek to respond to concerns in specific areas of the Borough by redistributing housing growth.
Section 9 of the Local Plan identifies the locations at which new development will be located. The focused review proposes to alter the housing numbers on a number of sites including
Policy R01, R18, R19, R25 R26, a change totalling 70 homes. For relevance of Chelmsford, Policy R25 and R26, located in Blackmore have a reduction in the number of dwellings for these site allocations. From 40 to 30 homes for R25, and 30 to 20 homes for R26.

BBC continues to meet its own housing need within its administrative boundaries and has not approached neighbouring authorities under the Duty to Co-operate to request other authorities help accommodate any unmet needs. This is supported by CCC.
CCC has no further comments to make on the additional changes and continues to be supportive of the approach taken in the Local Plan. Therefore, does not raise any objections under soundness or legal compliance.
CCC also gives consent for our details to be passed to the Planning Inspector holding the Examination.
