On behalf of our client, Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd (Sainsbury's), we submit representation in respect of the consultation to the Draft Local Plan Preferred Site Allocations document.
Sainsbury's currently operate a supermarket at William Hunter Way, Brentwood. As a result they are keen to be involved in the Local Plan Process.

The Draft Local Plan 2016 set out an objectively assessed housing need for the Borough of 362 dwellings per annum between 2013-2033 (equating to a total of 7,240 dwellings in total). Revised studies undertaken conclude an increase in objectively assessed need to 380 dwellings per annum (or 7,600 dwellings across the plan period). This is an additional 360 dwellings in total.

To achieve this, the Council are proposing the redevelopment of a number of car parks within and close to Brentwood Town Centre: William Hunter Way (379 spaces); Brentwood Railway Station (414 spaces); Westbury Road (97 spaces); and Chatham Way / Crown Street (122 spaces). It is not clear what level of town centre parking will be retained on these sites.

The loss of town centre car parking spaces could undermine the health of the town centre. Sainsbury's want to ensure that adequate car parking is retained within the town centre to ensure the town centre remains attractive. The document should set out clearly how much available car parking will be provided as part of the redevelopment of these sites.

We trust that these representations will be taken into account in the next iteration of the document. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
