Draft Local Plan

Respondent: CPREssex
Agent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) Brentwood Branch
Representation Summary:
It is CPRE policy that no green belt land should be built on, however in the case of Brentwood, some Green Belt release is obviously going to happen therefore it is agreed in principle that Dunton Hills Garden Village is a suitable major site for housing development and should prevent greater reliance on green belt/ green field sites, detract from the rural character of the borough and increased car dependency. However without a masterplan CPRE cannot give its unequivocal support to the proposal. A larger number of homes should be allocated here than is proposed.
