Respondent: Essex County Council
The District Council has adopted a balanced approach to the distribution of additional housing locations, which is based on identification of tiers of settlements defined by reference to their accessibility to jobs, services and facilities (some of which lie outside the District) and the need to protect the valued environments within the District. This approach is generally supported, although further thought should be given to how to secure sustainable functional relationships between proposed development locations and established settlements and features.
