Correct balance needed between green infrastructure and any new development.
Q1: No - Do not agree that the area north of Brentwood should be considered due to lack of infrastructure in roads and the type of land predominant in the area i.e. woodland, agriculture.
Q2: Yes
Q3: Yes - As question 1, I do not believe the area north of Brentwood is suitable for any large scale development.
Q4: Agree that the A127 corridor offers the best solution and the Dunton Garden Suburb (200) is the best site.
Q5: Yes - Yes, but some sites are more suitable than others. For example the area 034 Officers Meadow could be suitable.
Q6: Priority must be to use brownfield sites. Villages should retain their own identities and not become just one mass of housing.
