Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18515

Received: 06/03/2018

Respondent: Ms. Sue Flood

Representation Summary:

The greenbelt constraints are a material restriction preventing Brentwood from meeting its housing targets in the proposal (greenbelt land should be protected). Only brownfield land should be used (as there is enough nationally to meet the housing need). The impacts of Brexit will change the housing need, therefore growth will be less.

I object because of the following points: 1) Brentwood is unable to fulfill any of the proposed housing targets due to the greenbelt constraints which are a material restriction; 2) There are ample brownfield sites, nationally, to fulfill housing need; 3) Brentwoods growth, to 2033, is estimated to be from people moving into Brentwood Borough this cannot be relied upon until the EU referendum is completed
