I would like to make strongly supportive comments on the proposals currently tabled by the Brentwood Borough Council.
The strategic drive to develop in areas with current road links and other transport infrastructure seems eminently sensible - as does the maintenance of the differentiation in the North of the area where there is largely Greenbelt.
Picking brownfield sites is also very sensible.
The choice of the major Greenbelt development to be close to the A13 and A127 with access to exisiting rail stations seems to me very appropriate and a 'least worse' solution which should be agreed.
Keeping the existing village and green belt areas across the rest of the area as far as possible - I also strongly support.
I live in Blackmore and greatly appreciate that the current proposals do not have any significant development in this area - which (unsurprisingly) I would entirely support. I am conscious that there will be attempts to meet the total development numbers by some (as yet unidentified) infill and am happy to concede this [infill rather than boundary change] as a realistic if mildly unwelcome way forward.
