Whilst building on some brown field sites could be acceptable, building to the proposed volume inside the green belt area is not the instant answer to the housing shortage. People who live in these areas also require space to live in and enjoy, the wildlife requires areas of habitat and the council have quite overlooked the required infra structure needed to support these new communities. It is already impossible to obtain doctor's appointments in the Brentwood surgeries, the district hospital barely copes and our public transport is nonexistent. Many areas are still not supported by mains sewerage. Brentwood town centre struggles now with parking but what are we supposed to do whilst all our car parks are being built upon? The enlargement of the Sainsbury's car park is a complete eye sore and the multi story car park is dark and depressing and both are completely not in keeping with the surrounding areas. Years have been spent protecting our green belt only now to find out everybody has been given a free hand to develop where and what they want. This cannot be a fair way of implementing the new LDP especially in the small surrounding villages. Many residents are still unaware of the magnitude of your LDP and the change it will mean for the surrounding areas and town centre
