Respondent: Mrs Ann Cardus
Flats are not what Brentwood wants or needs. There is a surplus of this provision in the Borough due to poor planning decisions that have ignored previous Local Plans. Whilst high housing density helps achieve housing targets it detracts from quality of life.
Additionally it should be important that the interior space of properties should be more than adequate. Too many recently approved plans have small unusable rooms to enable the marketing of a two-bedroom property when the space would actually be better suited to a comfortable one-bedroom property.
