The focus of larger scale development on key transport corridors is supported. The allocation of employment land in strategic locations such as the Brentwood Enterprise Park and the land at Codham North at Junction 29 of the M25 are particularly well suited to meeting needs whilst minimise negative environmental or amenity impacts in line with the Council's policies and those set out within the NPPF.

Paragraph 5.58 states that existing employment sites will be formally allocated. This
approach is strongly supported and is considered to be essential if these sites are to
continue to provide for employment within the Borough and if the plan is to be
justified and effective.

Allocate of existing employment sites such as Codham Hall will help ensure the site continues to provide employment use as well as provide opportunities to support the development of existing businesses on the site.

Brentwood Enterprise Park as a strategic site within Policy 6.6 is strongly supported which recognises the critical importance of the sites to delivering the Plan's overall objectives.

Strategic employment would be focused on the part of the site to the south of the A127. This provides the greatest opportunity for new employment development to meet strategic needs.

The allocation of Brentwood Enterprise Park is strongly supported. A further distinction should be made between the main Enterprise Park site at 101A and the Land at Codham Hall 101B.

The land at site 101A provides for new employment development to meet strategic needs. The site at Codham Hall North 101B consists of existing employment uses and they will continue to meet different types of employment need. For this reason it may be more appropriate for the site at 101Bto be included within separate policy allocations such as within Policy 8.4 which allocates employment land within the Borough rather than within Policy 8.2 dealing with the strategic allocation.

There is presently an inconsistency between those areas included within Figure 8.2 and those areas included in the supporting document 'Site Allocations Maps'. It is clearly important that areas for allocation are consistent to avoid confusion in the adopted Plan.

In order to accurate reflect existing uses on site we consider that the allocated area should be extended to include the area of existing use.

The area of land proposed for allocation however is considered to be incorrect and does not reflect either the areas previously proposed for allocation, the previous representations made on behalf of S&J Padfield and Partners or the area of existing employment use on site.

The revised area totals approximately 9.2 ha.

The allocated area should be amended and extended to include the area of existing use, totalling approximately 9.2 ha to ensure there is no loss of employment land. In order to deliver a net increase in employment provision as requested by the NPPF and set out in the Council's Economic Futures Study it is especially important that the current extent of employment use at Codham Hall North is formally allocated for employment purposes.

Within the supporting text, at paragraph 8.23 we would suggest that the first sentence is amended to state that "Land at Codham Hall, site 101B, provides an opportunity to regularise existing industrial uses...."

The site supports good accessibility from the wider area by car due to its proximity to the M25 and A127. There is also a potential for the site to be accessed using proposed green transport links such as the Green Transport Route detailed in policy 10.1 of the Brentwood Draft Local Plan, further boosting the green credentials of the site.
