Bradwell with Pattiswick Parish Council

Braintree District Council needs to allocate sufficient land to provide 18,959 new homes over the next 15 years. This figure has been calculated in accordance with the government’s standard method. Around 9,327 of these will be built on sites which were allocated previously within the existing Local Plan. 

The draft plan focuses housing and employment development in the most sustainable locations or where development of a strategic scale can be achieved to provide high levels of sustainability. This includes allocating land on the edges of main towns at Braintree, Halstead and Witham and at Key Service Villages such as Kelvedon, Hatfield Peverel and Coggeshall where there is the ability to access major roads like the A12 and the A120. The plan also includes policies which sets out design criteria as well as ones to protect and support the conservation of the district’s landscape and historic environment, which are key to providing a sense of place.
