ECC and Highways England would seek additional evidence regarding any impact of the Brentwood Enterprise Park on the strategic junction, local road network and any necessary mitigation requirements. The potential impact on the above would also depend on the mix of B1, B2 and B8 uses proposed on the site.
The location is not favourable to sustainable transport measures and additional clarification will be required on this.

The importance of telecommunications and broadband as an infrastructure requirement and its links to economic growth is welcomed. However, Policy 8.1 should be strengthened by making reference to the need for collaborative working with ECC, communication operators and providers for high quality communications infrastructure in all new and existing development.
It is recommended that this is done through support of measures such as requiring high-speed Broadband for key areas, such as Warley Business Park, the proposed Brentwood Enterprise Park or Brentwood Town Centre.
Suggested wording could be:
`High quality communications infrastructure will be provided by working collaboratively with Essex County Council, communications operators and providers, and supporting initiatives, technologies and developments which increase and improve coverage and quality throughout the Borough.'

Brentwood Council will need to be satisfied that it has identified its preferred spatial strategy, which includes significant Green Belt release, based on a range of proportionate evidence. In so doing, BBC will need to be able to demonstrate that it has considered all reasonable locations for future growth against the criteria outlined in Policy 9.8 Green Belt, and demonstrate the most appropriate sites have been identified for allocation.

In acknowledgment of Strategic Objectives S01, S02 & S013;
ECC, as highway authority is reviewing the draft highway modelling report. In progressing the report, joint working will be established between relevant partners to identify necessary mitigation at relevant junctions; consider the cumulative impact of growth within the Borough; and consider the impact of wider planned growth (i.e. A127 Corridor authorities) on the local and strategic route network. Regular meetings are to be established between ECC, HE, BBC, and Peter Brett Associates (its highway consultants) to ensure this work is progressed to inform the Pre Submission Local Plan and inform the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP). The IDP will need to identify the mitigation required, their costings, priorities and timescales for delivery, and phasing in relation to housing delivery.

ECC supports proposals promoting sustainable transport. ECC would support the consideration for passenger transport in large scale developments at the earliest opportunity, which should be considered to be the responsibility of the developer.

For all stations (not just Brentwood and Shenfield), park and walk, or park and ride sites, are potential tools that could form part of an overall parking and access strategy.
