Supported subject to amendments. Concern with regards to the current wording on market led needs and suggest amendments to clarify acceptable uses on site.

Policy should be worded as follows: "...with business floorspace (PRINCIPALLY use class B1, B2 and B8) TAKING INTO ACCOUNT market needs along with ancillary uses...".

Current policy wording regarding attractive site frontages is unclear in how this would apply to the site. The wording should be amended to state that "The proposals will GIVE CONSIDERATION TO RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BUILT FORM AND KEY VIEWPOINTS FROM THE SURROUNDING HIGHWAY NETWORK".

Support the allocation of existing employment uses at Codham Hall. Suggest that the allocation at Codham North (101B) is set out elsewhere within the plan such as within Policy 8.4 and Figure 8.3. This would allow Strategic Policy 8.2 to focus exclusively on the larger new employment site to the south of the A127 (101A).

Pragraph 8.19 should use "enterprise park" rather than "business park" given the intended nature of the uses. Paragraph 8.20 amendments should be made to cover the strategic employment allocation and the allocation of the existing employment sites separately within the plan.

The allocation area does not fully reflect the details discussed previously and submitted. The following changes should be made:

- The allocated area currently includes some smaller areas of land outside of the client's control hence boundary amendments are needed.

- Some part of the site is currently constrained by gas pipelines and associated easements. Other parts currently include highway embankments and other nondevelopable land. Suggest to exclude these areas where possible and include adjoining land to ensure that a full 23.5 ha of deliverable and developable.

- Allocation area should be extended to include land for structural landscaping purposes to an area totalling 35.4 ha. If required it is suggested that the wording of the plan should acknowledge that no more than 23.5 ha of the larger site is anticipated to be used for employment purposes with the additional area being included to facilitate landscape and levels works. This will ensure the development can be appropriately mitigated in landscape terms as well as ensuring that the site can be practically delivered given engineering constraints.

There is inconsistency between this figure shown within the plan document itself and the plans included within the supporting document "Site Allocation Maps".

The summary provides helpful clarity to the plan and highlights that new employment land provided is limited to 32.81 ha and therefore it is clear that delivery of sites such as the Brentwood Enterprise Park early within the plan period will be required in order to support jobs and employment within the borough.

The encouragement provided for new employment proposals that provide new jobs and boost the local economy is supported. We consider that clarity should be provided within the plan as to whether these policy criteria will also apply to strategic employment allocations. If this is the case the criteria should be carefully worded so as not to prejudice or delay the delivery of such strategic sites.

We support the redevelopment of previously developed sites (brownfield) within
the Green Belt. Strategic brownfield sites such as the Brentwood Enterprise Park will of course also be removed from the Green Belt as part of the plan and therefore we consider the policy and/or supporting text should make clear that the more detailed criteria within this policy will not apply to such sites.

Whilst the requirements of the policy may only apply to housing sites it is considered that the policy should also make reference to employment sites allocated such as Brentwood Enterprise Park that will also be released from the Green Belt and will play a crucial role in meeting employment needs and providing jobs throughout the plan period.

This will form an important part of the transport strategy and travel plan for the Enterprise Park. The details of this proposal will be a matter for further work and it should be acknowledged that this may require input from Brentwood Borough Council, Essex County Council and others in terms of delivering a coordinated strategy for this route. The plan should acknowledge that strategic allocations such as Brentwood Enterprise Park will be located outside of Brentwood town centre. We therefore would request the wording of this policy is amended to make clear that "Major generators of travel should be located in Brentwood town centre, in district centres, AND WITHIN STRATEGIC ALLOCATIONS".
