I cannot comprehend why you would choose the car park at William Hunter Way as a preferred site for housing development. It is the most convenient car park to use when visiting Brentwood high street and the one used by most people for that reason. The car park is always busy and has 407 parking spaces. If you were to close the car park and develop it for housing where would all the consumers visiting Brentwood high street park? I also note from reading the plan that this is not the only car park that has been proposed as a preferred site for housing development. In total four car parks within Brentwood are on the preferred site list. Clearly you do not want people to visit and shop in Brentwood high street as if you go ahead with your plans there will be nowhere for anyone to park! This will ultimately mean that consumers will be forced to shop, eat and drink elsewhere. This will lead to reduced footfall and revenue for the high street shops, restaurants and bars, leading eventually to closure. Our high street should be protected and developed not put at risk by removing vital car parking.
