Assuming the recommendations are incorporated wholly within the future LDP then NHS England would not which to raise an objection to the Brentwood Borough Local Plan. NHS England has identified shortfalls in capacity at existing premises covered by the LDP. Provision needs to be made within the emerging LDP to address the impacts of development on health infrastructure and to ensure timely cost-effective delivery of necessary infrastructure improvements, in the interests of pursuing sustainable development. The recommendations set out above are those that NHS England deem appropriate having regard to the projected needs arising from the Brentwood Borough Local Plan. However, if the recommendations are not implemented then NHS England reserve the right to make representations about the soundness of the plan at relevant junctures during the adoption process.
