The Allocations Document is a Development Plan Document (DPD) forming part of the Local Development Framework (LDF).  It sets out detailed allocations for housing, employment, retail and other major land uses.

The Allocations Document will cover the whole of the Braintree District and must be consistent with national policy.

The Local Development Framework Panel considers reports on the Core Strategy and other policy issues - link to LDF Panel agendas and reports

Work commenced on the Allocations Document in September 2007.  During the Core Strategy Issues and Options consultation period we received many representations proposing sites, which landowners and developers wanted the Council to consider when preparing the Core Strategy Preferred Options and the Allocations documents.  Further site requests were invited during the period from 28th August to 17th September and these were collated in the Sites Proposed for Development in Local Development Framework document, Volume 1 Urban Responses, and Volume 2 Rural Responses. 

This document has been updated periodically since 2007 to include additional sites proposed by developers and landowners.  The deadline for sites to be submitted was Monday, 5 July 2010.  The Council will be holding meetings with Town and Parish Councils to discuss the requirements in their areas in due course.

There will be an opportunity to comment upon sites at the time of the formal public consultation on the draft Allocations document, and to put forward other sites as part of that consultation (currently anticipated in 2011.)

- Sites Proposed for development in LDF by Landowners/Developers RevE Vol 1.1 AtoF Urban

- Sites Proposed for development in LDF by Landowners/Developers RevE Vol 1.2 GtoW Urban

- Sites Proposed for development in LDF by Landowners/Developers RevE Vol 2.1 AtoF Rural

- Sites Proposed for development in LDF by Landowners/Developers RevE Vol 2.2 GtoW Rural

If you have previously submitted a site and the proposal has since changed, or if you no longer wish to promote a site, please notify the Planning Policy section accordingly.
