The infrastructure is creaking at the seams already; traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces, pressures on doctors' surgeries and dentists, school places etc come easily to mind and further large scale development is only going to add to the difficulties. In addition, the loss of Green Belt land is also a loss of amenity and of food production that will not be able to be reversed. Because of these factors, my Wife and I are completely opposed to these proposals and trust that they will be defeated.
I am responding to the above concerning the various proposals to build extensively in the vicinity of Brentwood.
My Wife and I have lived here since 1959 and the changes that have taken place since then in Brentwood itself and the surrounding areas make it difficult to remember it in those days. The population has increased considerably and the thought of a very large number of new homes is not in the least appealing.
