Respondent: Mr Christopher Hart
The destruction of Green Belt land is inconsistent with this policy when there are other areas more suitable. Given this is Metropolitan Green Belt land, it is felt that this approach sets a very dangerous precedent as follows:
1. Building on existing Green Belt land when there are known Brownfield sites and >700 disused properties within Brentwood is inconsistent with favouring sustainable development.
2. Until all non-Green Belt land has been developed, any development proposed on Green Belt land must therefore be considered inappropriate, otherwise the harm, when considered against development of non-Green Belt land, can not outweigh the benefits.
