Respondent: Mr Colin Foan
Representation Summary:
Where they are available, suitable brownfield sites should always be considered ahead of Greenfield sites. In exceptional cases there may be instances where the release of small amounts of Green Belt land around villages provides opportunities for these villages to grow in a sustainable manner. However, this should only be considered once all brownfield options have been exhausted, and where the development would create a positive and balanced impact on the community. Releasing Green Belt land around in the immediate area next West Horndon village for example would not create a positive or balanced impact on to the existing community.
