It should be noted that:
A range of development types, as included within the sequential approach, should be utilised in meeting Brentwood Borough's growth requirements. This should be based on an overarching vision of sustainable development, as underpinned by National planning policy. For example, larger Green Belt sites may be in a more sustainable location than brownfield sites, and/or able to provide a number of benefits that smaller brownfield sites cannot;
The sequential test was appropriately undertaken to the identification of sites but should not be stringently applied to the subsequent delivery of sites/the housing trajectory.
