Re SO9: By definition, for the green belt to be effective, ANY development thereon must be deemed 'inappropriate' /ipso facto/, and exceptions granted only very rarely, if at all, and only after going through full Council. I am perturbed that the wording of SO9 as it stands is providing too much leeway, since it does not unequivocally enshrine a presumption that any development would be 'inappropriate'.
Re SO7: Crossrail is almost irrelevant to Brentwood -- see previous representation in Chapter 2.
