Q1: No. The areas specified do not mention [sites] 028C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] plus sites on the edge of the Green Belt south of Hutton 028A/B [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood]. These are huge areas of land that are not part of the A12 and A127 Corridors, nor villages to the North of the Borough. This specific area is not considered, shown but not part of the planning.

Q2: No. North of the Borough - Insufficient attention to infrastructure - transport, schools, GPs.
A12 Corridor - Yes.
A127 Corridor - Yes.
No mention of [sites] 028A,B,C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] - Green Belt which should not be used for housing. Now much used by walkers, open space, historical woodlands, ample footpaths and good tracks. Home to much wildlife, birds, small mammals. Should not be touched as page 27 consultation document. Difficulty of ingress/egress to Hall Lane - no pavements and too much traffic on Hanging Hill Lane.

Q3: Yes. The A127 Corridor is the most suitable as it lies between the A127 and the railway. Not prime agricultural land, room for expansion between these two networks. Already a core of infrastructure which could be added to.
A12 Corridor - Yes if confined to areas between A12 and railway.
North of the Borough - Only if small sites were made available.

Q4: The A127 Corridor.

Q5: No. But only if between A12 and railway.

Q6: To develop brownfield sites.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes. In order for Brentwood to remain a town it needs a town centre. Out of town shopping areas are losing their attraction and they are accessible nearby - Gallows Corner and Chelmsford.

Q9: No. With all the Green Belt around us at [sites] 028A,B,C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] we delight in the open spaces available to us.
