The issue and topics identified are those that Natural England would wish to see considered by this document and we acknowledge the reference to the SSSI's in paragraph 7.3.2. Consider in more detail the impact upon Brentwood's Local Wildlife Site network; and Priority Habitats and Species; particularly in the context of the Brentwood Borough Local Wildlife Site Review 2012. SA also needs to consider in more detail the recreational impacts upon the local SSSI network. There is only limited reference to the SSSI's within the borough. Hopefully subsequent iterations of the plan will set out a more ambitious approach to ensure recreational impacts upon existing publically accessible natural spaces are robustly addressed and planned for.
