The purpose of this document is to set out for public debate the matters that the Core Strategy and the Brentwood Borough Sustainable Community Strategy will address. It provides a focus for discussion on proposals for the future of the Borough and sets out the wider context of current social, economic and environmental issues. It is intended to: • Set out the long term vision for the whole Borough and how it may change between now and 2031; • Outline the issues facing the Council and strategic partners in the services provided; • Act as the focus for deliberations on options for accommodating and managing change; and • Help build consensus on the broad directions of future planning policies and the way in which essential facilities and services will be provided to meet the Borough’s needs. Brentwood Sustainable Community Strategy 1.2 This is a Borough-wide strategic plan, produced by the Local Strategic Partnership. The current Sustainable Community Strategy was formally adopted in 2004. Its overall aim was to improve the quality of life for all the people of Brentwood. The proposed Sustainable Community Strategy will provide the wider strategic context for development of the spatial options in the Core Strategy and other Local Development Framework (LDF) policies. The Local Development Framework 1.3 The LDF, as introduced in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, is a set of documents that guide planning and development for a particular area and will replace the current Local Plan adopted in August 2005. The Brentwood LDF will comprise a number of policy documents as expressed in Figure 1. 4 November 2009 Pathway to a Sustainable Brentwood National Guidance Statement of Site Specific Community Allocations Involvement DPD Annual East of Monitoring England Plan Report Proposals Map DPD Core Strategy Local Development Other Plans/ Scheme Strategies/ Gypsies & programmes Travellers DPD Local Supplementary Planning Development Documents Sustainable Framework Community Strategy Figure 1: the Local Development Framework documents What is the Core Strategy? 1.4 The Core Strategy is the main Development Plan Document within the LDF and sets out the spatial policies seeking to maintain and enhance the Borough as a thriving, successful, attractive and overall sustainable place for people to live, work and enjoy their free time. It would play a key part in the delivery of Brentwood's Sustainable Community Strategy. It should also outline the spatial mechanisms for other plans and programmes prepared by partners and other agencies. It should contain: • A long-term spatial vision and strategic objectives for the area; • A spatial strategy and structure diagram; • Core policies that will apply to the whole Borough; and • A monitoring and implementation framework. Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Appraisal 1.5 Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Council is required to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy. The purpose is to identify and report on the likely environmental,
