Strategic Growth Options
Representation ID: 5032

Representation Summary:
A small number of landowners have already put forward their farms, representing a substantial amount of Green Belt for developers. The Council should not take the "easy option" and be persuaded by landowners wanting to make substantial profit. This would have the detrimental effect of reducing the Green Belt and in some circumstances valuable wooded Green Belt. The consultation document does not state how much the Green Belt would be reduced by its proposals, but it is clear that it would be substantial and would change the essential nature of Brentwood.
