I feel there would be greater impact on over development of brown field sites rather than sympathetically building on green belt sites.
One caveat to my statement is that we need to carefully consider the TYPE of housing we should be building. It is wrong to assume that the only housing need is for people wanting their first property or downsizing, ergo only build flats. People need family houses and these need to be built. Building 4 flats instead of 2 houses may make the numbers look better, but it's not what Brentwood and surrounding areas need.
