Representation Summary:
The Stondon Massey Scrap Yard site should be identified within the emerging Local Plan as a significant brownfield site suitable for housing. As a large brownfield site within the Green Belt the site is acceptable for housing provided that the proposed development does not have any greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt.
The site is over 3ha and is too large to be left to be treated as a windfall site. The potential housing that could be accommodated should be assessed at the Local Plan stage so that it can be assessed whether other greenfield Green Belt sites are required for release.
