Respondent: Asphaltic Developments Ltd

Agent: Rapleys LLP

Representation Summary:

Proposed allocations within Green Belt are noted, specifically Sow and Grow Nursery (010) and Ingatestone Garden Centre (128). It is noted that the allocations are made (as per the Draft Site Assessment supporting document) on the basis that it is considered they are brownfield land in the Green Belt. Furthermore, they are connected to or close to urban areas, providing sustainable urban extensions without using greenfield land. This approach is generally supported.

The suggested site, Brentwood Leisure Park, is similar and could come forward in the short to medium term, should existing uses become unviable.
