Note that two of the DLP's strategic objectives are environmental protection and enhancement (SO9 & SO10). I regard it as important that to boost housing and to create jobs, that every effort is made to safeguard the environment and improve it wherever possible. Particularly the natural environment. I enjoy many of the locations known for their natural beauty in the Borough, eg: South Weald, Thorndon Park and Warley Place. Generally speaking. Satisfied that the DLP is well-founded in terms of its overall vision. Noted reference to the leadership role which the English Wildlife Trust has played in the area of conservation and concept of the "living landscape" is one which is given express recognition in the DLP. The Borough of Brentwood does not and will not exist in isolation and, therefore, as far as the natural environment is concerned, appreciation of the inter-connectedness with neighbouring boroughs and with Essex as a whole is rightly given support in the DLP.
