Introduction Brentwood Local Plan 2016-33 1.1 This Pre-Submission Local Plan (Publication Draft, Regulation 19) Local Plan presents Brentwood Borough Council’s vision for how the borough will develop over the next 17 years, from 2016 to 2033. It outlines the Council’s strategic priorities and sets out a Spatial Strategy and supporting policies for achieving this vision. 1.2 The Plan identifies locations to deliver local housing needs and supporting infrastructure, such as employment, retail, leisure, community and transport. It allocates land for appropriate development, sets out strategic planning policies and an overall strategy to guide decisions on the location, pattern, scale, and quality of development and/or changes in the way land and buildings are used. 1.3 Once adopted, the Local Plan will be a statutory document and a material consideration in determining planning applications. 1.4 Policies and proposals set out in this document are also illustrated on the Policies Map. The map identifies areas of opportunity within the borough for employment and housing, as well as important local assets that will be protected and, where possible, enhanced. Plan Period and Review 1.1 The Plan period is from 2016 to 2033 inclusive. Considering the lead-up to adoption, this will ensure the period shall be for a minimum of 15 years. Nevertheless, the Local Plan will not remain a static document and will, in line with the legal requirement set out in Regulation 10A of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as 11 amended), be reviewed at least every five years to ensure it is still delivering on its strategic priorities in the best way possible. 1.2 At the time of writing, there are many global challenges in flux that could alter the outlook of the Plan; for example, the decision to leave the European Union; technological advancement especially in relation to the transport and utility sectors; new housing calculation methodologies; and joint strategic work across South Essex. While these conditions have been taken into consideration as far as possible to ensure the future-proofing of the Plan, it will be necessary to ensure that changing circumstances are reflected within the Plan Period. The Council will maintain a watching brief on advancements and respond accordingly. Plan-Making Process & Next Steps Local Plan Regulation 19 Stage 1.3 This document constitutes the Pre-Submission

  • 10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections For
    10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections for Brentwood Borough Council Report of: Ben Bix, Corporate and Democratic Services Manager Wards Affected: All This report is: Public 1. Executive Summary 1.1 This report advises Council of its power to change its electoral scheme to whole council elections. Brentwood Borough Council operates an election scheme by thirds 1, holding a Borough election three years out of four. The typical cost to the Council of a shared election is £69,000; the cost of a sole Borough Council election is £95,000. Whole council elections offer a potential saving of between £138,000 and £195,000 over a four year cycle. The Council can change its electoral cycle should it resolve to do so. 1.2 In order to resolve to change its electoral cycle, the Council must: a) Have taken reasonable steps to consult such persons as it thinks appropriate on the proposed change; b) Convene an extraordinary meeting of Council to consider the proposed change; c) Have at least two-thirds of those voting at the extraordinary meeting of Council vote in favour of the proposed change; and d) Ensure that the year for the first ordinary whole council election is specified in the resolution. This cannot be the same year(s) as whole council elections for the County Council. 1.3 This report facilitates steps b), c) and d) above. Step a) was initiated by Ordinary Council on 22 October 2014. 2. Recommendation that: Council decides whether to retain a scheme of elections by thirds or change to a scheme of whole council elections.

    CHELMSFORD & CENTRAL ESSEX GROUP NEWS Winter 2015/16 The RSPB is a registered charity in England & Wales 207076, in Scotland SC037654 LOCAL GROUP TALKS As many of you know, we have a great programme of talks for you to enjoy through the winter. The speakers are very varied in subject matter and presentation style but all are well-received by our audience. Two recent evenings have been particular highlights of the season. David Lindo visits Writtle We were very pleased to welcome “Urban Birder” David Lindo as guest speaker at our meeting on 12 November last year. Visitor numbers reached 146 so we removed the auditorium’s central division for the first time since moving our talks to Writtle College two years ago. Woolly-hatted David arrived in his vintage Rolls Royce, armed with lots of copies of his book, The Urban Birder, and snazzy tee-shirts that were for sale. He greeted me warmly with a big hug – an unexpected treat as we’d never met before! David focussed the first half of his talk on the background, his promotional efforts and the successful selection of Britain’s first national bird, the robin, including how he’d toured the streets with publicity material plastered all over his roller. Overtly passionate about birds and the importance of inspiring others, David was clearly very pleased with his campaigning achievements. ROBIN The second half followed David’s travels in Latvia, Northern Serbia and surrounding regions, and included interesting stories and lovely pictures. A memorable moment was when everyone let out a spontaneous gasp when shown a photo of long-eared owls roosting in a tree in a Serbian town square (in Kikinda) – dozens of them! What an amazing spectacle it must be to see hundreds of these beautiful birds perching together in an urban setting.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed.
