Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13665

Received: 23/03/2016

Respondent: Mr Sasha Millwood

Representation Summary:

There is more to the wonderful green spaces of Brentwood than merely the two country parks cited. The openness of the green belt, the forests, fields, and unstructured wild spaces (such as Officer's Meadow) are all integral to the pleasant environment of Brentwood. This must be recognised and defended to the death, even if it means taking up a legal battle with the Planning Inspectorate (although I doubt they would attempt to overrule the genuine and deeply held wishes of local residents to preserve their green belt; I consider the Council to be scaremongering on this matter).
