Draft Local Plan
Policy 5.1: Spatial Strategy
Representation ID: 15226
Received: 03/05/2016
Respondent: Billericay Action Group
Billericay Action Group objects to Brentwood Borough Council meeting its Objectively Assessed Need (OAN). The Council is not obliged to remove any land from Green Belt, and the Appendix is included to reinforce that point. Brentwood can build around 2500 homes without Green Belt loss and this is the
minimum Brentwood are obliged to build. This is far more than the borough's local needs (Natural Change\Growth) of 1200-1560 homes over the Plan period, so if the AN is met a large majority of homes would be for incomers.
We would prefer Brentwood to use Green Belt as a constraint to meeting OAN and so produce a sub-OAN Housing target of 2500.
Meeting the OAN effects SE Essex in a number of undesirable ways, including the unnecessary creation of Dunton Garden Suburb on the edge of Basildon. (Detailed appendix attached).
