Details of the Consultation
Following the Examination Hearing Sessions for the emerging Local Plan, the Council has prepared a number of changes, known as Main Modifications, to the Brentwood Pre-Submission Local Plan and Addendum of Focussed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan to address issues of soundness and/or legal compliance identified by the Inspectors. These are put forward without prejudice to the Inspectors' final conclusions on the Plan.
Representations were invited on the Main Modifications and supporting documents only.
The consultation ran for 6 weeks from 12 midday Thursday 30 September 2021 to 5pm Thursday 11 November 2021.
The Schedule of Potential Main Modifications and supporting documents can be viewed below.
A schedule of Potential Additional Modifications has been prepared which are minor changes to the Plan and not those necessary for soundness. They do not form part of the Inspectors' examination of the Plan. The schedule of Potential Additional Modifications is not being consulted on but is available for reference and can be viewed below.
