North of Borough: Support issues raised.

A12 Corridor: Apart from comment on A12 access to Brentwood, there is no assessment of accessibility and service range of Brentwood urban area. Important to note that Brentwood is where most jobs and services are and therefore where growth should be concentrated in accordance with NPPF.

A127 Corridor: Development along the A127 is more distant from large mixed uses of the Brentwood urban area and development here is less sustainable than within or adjacent to the main urban area.

Borough has unmet employment need, partly due to new homes requiring new jobs. The Economic Futures report (2014) sets out three scenarios, the highest (including replacement of existing employment land losses) requires 37.35 and 41.65 hectares of new employment land. This should be higher if more existing employment sites are re-allocated. The report sets out that majority of job growth is expected to be office-based.

Strategy should focus employment development in and around primary urban areas; more sustainable and accessible with reduced trip lengths, in accordance with NPPF.

Although M25 works site [site ref 101A] is well located to highway network, it is poorly located by non-car modes. It is not close to facilities, services, residential development and so all trips will be made by car. Nearest stations: Brentwood (3.6miles) and West Horndon (4.7 miles), with no bus route to either. Current temporary use on site should be returned to former use once ceased in accordance with Permitted Development agreement. Identification of 23.41ha results in an extensive site with development visible from surrounding area, changing character, covering greater area than former works site with greater impact.

Site is poorly located in terms of access by non-car modes and employees will make trips by car. Given the presence of existing uses, this site is likely to be slow to come forward as these uses will need to relocate in advance of redevelopment.

It is relevant to note that in respect of both the Codham Hall Lane and M25 sites [site refs 101A and 101B], Essex County Council Highways commented that "some development" would be considered on these sites (Preferred Options Draft Site Assessment, 2013), it is questioned whether the County Council would be supportive of the extent of development proposed.

Site is not well located in terms of the principle urban area of Brentwood and Shenfield and therefore has limited access by non-car modes.

Approach to locate 93% of new employment land in A127 Corridor is contrary to findings of the Issues and Options Consultation Preliminary Analysis (2010) where respondents expressed a clear preference for centralised growth, with development within and around the town of Brentwood.

Mixed use strategic allocation at West Horndon proposed to accommodate employment land in Preferred Options consultation, which is not well located in terms of the principle urban area of Brentwood and Shenfield and therefore has limited access by non-car modes.
