Suggest that an updated Open Space Audit be conducted. I fully expect that this would result in retaining this Playing Field as a Protected Urban Open Space. This is pertinent given that 45.16% of the Green Belt Total (825/1827 net dwellings) is being met by Shenfield Village. This area will be in need of public open space/sports facility to meet identified need.
Also, brownfield land should be utilised first - see brownfield register link below. There are brownfields not included in the LDP. These should be prioritised as there's currently a failure to preserve "Protected Urban Open Spaces".
