The adoption of the Liverpool method in Winchester is an example of where this approach might work without causing delays to the supply of land for housing as Winchester has three strategic sites. A delay in brining forward one strategic site would have no impact on the ability of the other two strategic sites. Since Brentwood relies on a single strategic site then the Liverpool method should not be used to calculate the 5-year housing land supply.

There is a risk of the Council not meeting its own commitment to a partial review by a set date, which needs to be mitigated if the Council adopts a new Plan without a 5YHS. It would be wholly unacceptable for Brentwood Council not to submit a Reg19 Draft Local Plan Review within the stated timescale when there are suitable sites known to the Council to be deliverable and available for allocation and development.

Strategic Objectives is supported, as is the increased emphasis on concentrating growth within the Central Brentwood Growth Corridor. The establishment of the Central Brentwood Growth Corridor as a suitable location
for future growth should provide the basis for further releases of Green Belt land for housing development during the early drafts of the immediate Local Plan Review.

The Tesco site at Sawyers Hall Farm is sustainably located within Central Brentwood Growth Corridor. The site can deliver 450 new homes within 5 years from the adoption of the Local Plan Review. Other benefits include:
- securing the future of the Hopefield Animal Sanctuary and the construction of new stables and a new visitor centre on site. Tesco will also transfer the freehold of an 50-acre farm, not too far from Brentwood to the Sanctuary at nil cost.
- parent/pupil drop-off/pick-up pointswithin the site allocation.
- improvements to Doddinghurst Road and Ongar Road.
- internal pedestrian and cycle routes.
