- At Brentwood Development Partnership we’re building a future bright with opportunity
Since the formation in October 2019, of Brentwood Development Partnership, Brentwood Borough Council and the national placemaker, Muse have been building the foundations for this joint venture.
Through a range of approaches, the partnership is seeking to make use of the council’s portfolio of surplus land to deliver a variety of much-needed homes and community facilities.
Partnership
The joint venture between the Council and Muse Developments is a Local asset backed vehicle (LABV) and has been created to combine private sector finance, skills and experience with public sector real estate as a means of driving development and investment. The council retain control over how their land is developed and have a key role in the defining the pace, scale and quality of developments. In similar partnerships, funds raised from land receipts and development profits have supported the delivery of frontline services by the local authority.
Our progress so far
Despite the pandemic and economic turbulence, our focus has continued with the three key sites at Westbury Road Car Park, Maple Close garages site and 1-2 Seven Arches Road. Excellent progress has been made with the JV securing planning consent in March 2021 for both Maple Close and Seven Arches and for Westbury Rd car park site in October 2022.
Purpose
At Brentwood Development Partnership we’re building a future bright with opportunity. The JV has the ability to deliver high-quality homes for local people, public open spaces, commercial hubs, and leisure facilities. Our purpose is to sustainably evolve sites across the Borough, protecting the environment, attracting inward investment, and creating a vibrant, pleasant, prosperous place where people want, and can afford, to live, work, and visit.
