3,500 new dwellings to be built in the Borough is considered unacceptable and I object strongly to its inclusion. Such a increase in the number of dwellings is totally unacceptable without improvements in the road network. Its ridiculous for the council to say that the highway network is a county responsibility and ignore the problem in its plan. Such increases in dwelling numbers cannot be proposed in isolation from other significant factors such as traffic congestion, especially when the plan itself recognizes in paragraph 1.26 that Brentwood has a very high level of car ownership compared to the national average.
