I received a flyer the other day entitled "Save our Green Belt" which says that vast areas of open countryside between Hutton and Ingrave are being considered as options for future housing.

I wasn't aware that a housing development was being considered for this area until this flyer arrived at the weekend so unfortunately don't have the Council's reference

I would however like to register my objection to any large scale building on this green belt land.

My main objection is that any large development would destroy a beautiful area of countryside. When I first moved to my house in Lilian Crescent, it was the views over the back across to Ingrave that swung my decision to move here and because it is green belt land I thought that it was protected land.

The semi rural nature of this area is what I think, makes it such a lovely place to live

I don't think that a large development is right for this particular area. For one thing the roads are already badly congested at certain times of the day and a large development would only make things worse as I assume that if this went ahead the extra residents would have to use the amenities in Brentwood adding to the traffic congestion.

I don't believe that we have the necessary infrastructure to support anything large scale.
