The sub-section concerning Growth Options (page 12 and paragraphs 2.12 and 2.13) correctly identifies that future housing growth, meeting full OAN of the Borough, would require the use of Green Belt land as there is insufficient capacity in the stock of previously developed sites. The Borough will need to demonstrate that it has fulfilled the requirements of the Duty to Co-Operate and worked constructively with other authorities in the Housing Market Area to understand and help accommodate unmet housing needs that may arise. As part of the process the Borough should identify sufficient new sites with contingencies to meet its own housing requirements. This must be clearly established as an issue relevant to the whole Borough and particularly to the A12 Corridor that contains the highest order settlements and centres of Brentwood and Shenfield.
