Concern that Crossrail Economic Impacts and Highways Modelling evidence are forthcoming, which discords with the NPPF. Many evidence documents currently unavailable. Not clear whether comprehensive site assessment undertaken. Landscape Sensitivity Testing and Green Belt Assessment essential when identifying new Green Belt sites. Query whether missing evidence prepared in advance of Local Plan or retrospectively to accord with Council strategy. No consideration of Green Belt sites individual and cumulative effects. On basis of information available, it seems decision made preventing Green Belt release for employment and residential around Brentwood and Shenfield, the Borough's primary urban areas.
