Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 13393
Received: 17/03/2016
Respondent: Mrs. M. A. Montgomery
I totally support the Draft Local Plan for these reasons:
1. The Bedroom Tax tried to force many families to downsize, but there is nowhere for them to go
2. There are 53 homeless families in temporary bed and breakfast accommodation waiting for a home, in Brentwood
3. Many elderly people wish to downsize to small properties, again none available
4. There are over 1000 people on Brentwood housing waiting lists
5. The time has come when more homes are desperately needed to be built. I appreciate how many homeowners in rural Brentwood purchased their homes many years ago at very reasonable cost, for the benefits of green open spaces, safe for children tto grow and breath good clean air. But times are changing for everyone. People need homes, it's time for the selfish NIMBY to consider the right of many and be prepared to share a bit more of their much cherished space.
