CCC supports the three geographical areas proposed for considering approaches to future growth and the potential growth options discussed for each. Focusing strategic growth along the A12 and A127 Corridor would seem a realistic approach to take in principle, and one that reflects the location of the most available land for development.

CCC in its response to the Preferred Options Consultation, CCC raised concerns that there appears to be significant uncertainly for some large sites in West Horndon with respect to contamination and the delivery of infrastructure and services. CCC would welcome further clarification on the delivery of these sites should they be included within the emerging Draft Local Plan.

In respect of the sites proposed for development by developers and landowners etc., CCC considers that none of these would appear to create any obvious harmful cross-boundary impacts on Chelmsford.

CCC would support a Brentwood Local Plan which seeks to meet its own housing needs in full without the need to approach neighbouring authorities. For the avoidance of doubt, Chelmsford is not in a position to accommodate any housing shortfalls from adjoining areas and is subject to many of the same development and infrastructure constraints as Brentwood including Green Belt.

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.
