Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 14612

Received: 19/04/2016

Respondent: Mr Gerry Jordan

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to LDP: 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. 80% of Brentwoods growth, to 2033, is estimated to be from people moving into Brentwood Borough. Brentwoods Metropolitan greenbelt acts as green lung to London. London is a low density city able to withstand further growth. Global warming, climate change and flood plains are a real threat to our planet and the destruction of our green belt is a major reason for this
