Draft Allocation for Residential Development
in Blackmore

On behalf of Anderson Group, Bidwells has secured a draft residential allocation on a Green Belt site in the emerging Brentwood Local Plan.

What we did

• Bidwells promoted the site through the emerging Local Plan on behalf of Anderson Group, which led to planning policy officers and the Council recommending a draft allocation for the site in the face of political opposition and against local alternatives

• Bidwells provided strategic planning advice to the client throughout the emerging Local Plan process

• We are leading a project team of specialist consultants to bring forward a planning application once the Local Plan is adopted

Result

• Allocation is set to achieve a significant uplift in land value to a previously unallocated greenfield site in the Green Belt which is currently used for grazing.

• Development will deliver much needed new housing including affordable homes for local people in Blackmore
