EERA East of England Regional Assembly: exists to promote the economic, social and environmental well-being of the region.

Brentwood Borough LDF: Gypsies and Travellers DPD Pre-Submission Draft Plan. December 2009 2 1. Summary Background 1.1 As part of the new Local Development Framework (LDF), which will eventually replace the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan (BRLP), the Council is required by the government to prepare a Development Plan Document (DPD) dealing with Gypsy and Traveller accommodation needs in the Borough. 1.2 As a first stage in this process, the Council published an Issues and Options document in July 2007 for a six-week public consultation. That document set out the background and context for consideration of what the Council believed to be the issues and options, provided links to other more detailed sources of information, and asked a number of specific questions in order to encourage comments to be made. 1.3 As a result of that consultation a number of sites were suggested to the Council as potential permanent residential Gypsy and Traveller sites, particularly by the Brentwood Gypsy Support Group. The Council published those suggested sites as a second stage Issues and Options consultation in June 2008. 1.4 These earlier consultations together with the other relevant background information, including progress on the review of the regional policy dealing with the same issue across the East of England Region, have been instrumental in progressing to this next stage of the DPD production, the Pre-Submission Draft Plan, which sets out the Council’s proposals for providing the required number of additional authorised pitches. 1.5 The earlier consultation documents can still be viewed on the Council’s website (http//www.brentwood.gov.uk). The Level of Need 1.6 As referred to above, at the same time as the Council has had to produce this plan, the East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) has been preparing a single issue review of the East of England Plan, the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS), titled ‘Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation in the East of England’, which has proposed the level of additional authorised permanent pitches to be provided in each local authority across the region. 1.7 This was submitted to the Secretary of State for approval and subject to an examination by an independent panel of inspectors in October 2008. The report of the panel was published in December 2008 and recommended
