Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15941
Received: 12/05/2016
Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council
Policy 9.8b and c of the Draft Local Plan states that "The Metropolitan Green Belt boundaries within Brentwood Borough will be maintained in order to continue to serve its key function, and be protected from inappropriate development, and to b) Check the growth of London and prevent ribbon development and urban sprawl, and c) Prevent the coalescence of settlements". The level of proposed development along the A127 Corridor, particularly on Green Belt is contradictory to this policy. It is well observed that all authorities along the A127 are allocating adjoining land for development, with the Basildon Dunton Extension a perfect example. The policies proposed within the Draft Local Plan will actually contribute to urban sprawl and ribbon development within the area.
