There is a shortage of housing creating unstainable house prices. Building more houses of various types will allow the market to move more freely. Sites like Mascalls, which are scrubland, are ideal for development. Concerned about road infrastructure.
I fully support the Draft Local Plan. My views are as follows: Pros: There is a chronic shortage of housing in the Brentwood area. Housing Prices are at an unsustainable level and for our family to move up the ladder as the current price levels appear unachievable for what we would like. Building more houses of various types will allow the market to move more freely. Sites that are deliverable within the next 5 years should be seriously considered. Logical sites like the Mascalls Lane site which serves not clear purpose other than disused scrubland should be given priority. Cons: My main concern overall is the infrastructure within the area. Brentwood is at gridlock in the morning and more properties will provide further strain on this.
