Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 14557

Received: 19/04/2016

Respondent: Mr Danny Barry

Representation Summary:

1. We don't have to build 5-6,000 houses on greenbelt and recent rulings reflect this

2. Brentwood cannot fulfill any alleged housing targets due to greenbelt constraints which are a material restriction as demonstrated in recent planning cases and, in January 2016, by Castle Point Council

3. 80% of Brentwood's growth, to 2033, is estimated to be from people moving into Brentwood Borough

3. Brentwood's Metropolitan greenbelt acts as a green lung to neighbouring London

4. London is a low density city able to withstand further growth

Full text:

I object to Brentwood Councilors recommending the proposed LDP. For the following reasons:

1. We don't have to build 5-6,000 houses on greenbelt and recent rulings reflect this

2. Brentwood cannot fulfill any alleged housing targets due to greenbelt constraints which are a material restriction as demonstrated in recent planning cases and, in January 2016, by Castle Point Council

3. 80% of Brentwood's growth, to 2033, is estimated to be from people moving into Brentwood Borough

3. Brentwood's Metropolitan greenbelt acts as a green lung to neighbouring London

4. London is a low density city able to withstand further growth
