Call For Sites (2024-2025)
As part of the Braintree District Local Plan Review, we undertook a Call for Sites between 10 April and Friday 24 May 2024 (an extended timetable meant we were able to accept late submissions until 16th October 2024). Developers, landowners, residents, businesses, parish councils and other stakeholders were invited to put forward suggested sites which might be suitable for many uses including housing, commercial, retail, health care, business, leisure, community facilities, open spaces, wildlife sites, biodiversity net gain or education in the District.
Sites received during this exercise are not automatically marked for development, nor do they gain any special status.
Every site is being assessed to determine whether it is suitable, available and achievable for development or designation within the updated Local Plan against the Strategic Land Availability Assessment Methodology.
Additional site submissions and amendments to previously submitted sites were received during our Regulation 18 Consultation of the Draft Plan. These are also available to view on the interactive map. As with the original site extents shown - none of the sites are automatically marked for development, nor do they gain any special status. Each site is being assessed.
