Representation Summary:

Ignoring more sustainable brownfield sites will give weight to my fears that the Governments main aim is to gradually dismantle the Metropolitan Green belt to expand London into Essex.

Full text:

Whilst recommending sites which possess clear, defensible boundaries to prevent urban sprawl, more suitable brown field sites should be chosen such as Clapgate at Stondon Massey. Am concerned that unsustainable brownfield sites have been allocated eg: William Hunter Way car park. Residents need to park to sustain the town, buses are no good with heavy shopping.
Development there will clog up Western Road (part of the towns unofficial ring road) and cramped junction with Weald Road and the tiny space between that junction and the traffic lights on the High Road,
Ignoring more sustainable brownfield sites will give weight to my fears that the Governments main aim is to gradually dismantle the Metropolitan Green belt to expand London into Essex.
