Respondent: MRS LESLEY LYNN
* Building on car parks will mean no parking and the death of the town centre.
* There are other sites to build on such as Dunton and Clapgate rather than countryside.
* Increased building in or surrounding the town will increase traffic and cause even worse traffic jams, emergency vehicles will be unable to travel. Air pollution will increase.
* Using Green Belt sets a precedent. Urban sprawl will become inevitable. The character of Brentwood will change. There is a threat to wildlife.
* The council also needs to look at and utilise existing dwellings with no occupancy.

* Increased building in or surrounding the town will increase traffic and cause even worse traffic jams. The town will be grid locked. This is also not safe as emergency vehicles will be unable to travel. Air pollution will increase.
* Using green belt sets a precedent. Urban sprawl will become inevitable. The character of Brentwood will change from being an attractive rural district to just another urban town. There is a threat to wildlife.
* Incidentally, the council also needs to look at and utilise existing dwellings with no occupancy e.g. two in Hatch Road
