Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4981

Received: 17/02/2015

Respondent: Miss Elaine Sparks

Representation Summary:

I object to the Growth Options consultation for the following:
I do not believe that Green Belt land should be built on, brownfield sites should be used instead. Green Belt was put in place to stop urban sprawl. I do not believe that should be changed. An example of green belt land is around the villages of Herongate and Ingrave, which is mentioned in the Domesday book. An example of our heritage could be lose forever should it be agreed to be built on.

I would like you to register my OBJECTION to Brentwoods Strategic Growth Options Consultation for the following reasons:

I do not believe that any greenbelt land should be built on, and that brown field sites should be used instead, or derelict buildings and un-used factories. Greenbelt land was put into place to stop urban sprawl, I do not believe this should be changed. An example of greenbelt land is around the villages of Herongate and Ingrave, land mentioned in the Domesday book. An example of our heritage that could be lost forever should it be agreed that greenbelt land can be built on.

South East England, particularly Essex, is an area that is already full to the brim. Our public services are already stretched, including our hospitals, GP surgeries, schools, roads and police. Big projects such as Dunton Garden Suburb will put impossible strain on these public services. Therefore I do not think that the main infrastructure issues have been addressed at all.
