Economic prosperity forms a key part of the objectives and this links to our proposals
for the Childerditch Industrial Park. SO2 - This approach is supported and has potential to provide for employment growth in locations where there is strong market demand, and to minimise environmental impacts on the wider Borough. SO8 and SO14 - This Objective is supported and, in particular, the Plan's recognition that attracting new commercial investment will be crucial in fostering a prosperous, vibrant and diverse economy, to maintain high and stable levels of economic and employment growth for the Borough.

The Draft Local Plan confirms that the updated spatial strategy substantially focuses
growth on land within the Borough's transport corridors, with strategic allocations along
the A127 corridor for employment, which is supported.

Figure 5 of the Consultation document identifies Junction 29 of the M25 as a key
location for employment led development and identifies Childerditch Industrial Park as
a location for new employment land. This approach is fully supported and recognises
the importance of this location for new employment opportunities.

Note that the IDP is currently being developed and we look forward to contributing. An Access Appraisal for the Childerditch site confirms that the proposed allocations are deliverable in the context of the existing and proposed highway infrastructure, and will not have a significant impact on the efficiency or safety of the local transport network. The Appraisal also confirms that, cumulatively, the allocation can be accommodated with other employment allocations along the A127 corridor, including those at Brentwood Enterprise Park and Codham Hall Farm, with the planned interventions proposed, as set out at in paragraph 3.21 of the Access Appraisal.

Childerditch Industrial Park has a unique employment offer. The allocation of additional land adjacent to the existing Park provides the opportunity to build on the success of the Park, by creating additional employment opportunities with a range of businesses. The proposed allocations will also enable the upgrading of the existing units on site through increased investment. The accompanying proposed masterplan prepared by CMP Architects sets out how the redevelopment of the Park may come forward through a series of phased developments. The Brentwood Economic Futures (2013-2033) has not taken into account that the existing Park can be redeveloped.

The SA fails to fully consider the nature of each proposal or the likelihood in practice of effects in sustainability terms, where a 'broad brush' approach has instead been taken to sites regardless of their intended use. Childerditch Industrial Park, the site has not scored well in relation to the criteria that has data available. It is considered that the SA, could be too sensitive when it comes to assessing sites against the criteria. No site performed 'particularly well' - many sites appear unsustainable, with limited opportunity to score 'green' in many of the objectives.

The Consultation document currently sets out a delivery forecast of 1 to 10 years. Following the adoption of the Local Plan and confirmation that the proposed allocations
at Childerditch Industrial Park are removed from the Green Belt, a planning application supported by a package of technical information will be submitted to the Council for the first phase of development at The Range North. Further applications will then follow for the subsequent phases. We strongly support the proposed allocations at Childerditch Industrial Park and will continue to promote the Park as the Plan progresses to submission stage.
