Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes - The north area of the Borough does not have adequate transport connections or other essential facilities to make the development of more than a very few new homes a feasible proposition.

Q3: See answer to Q2 above. (N.B. was unable to access details of planning applications for various particular sites listed in the consultation document online. Reference numbers, keywords or roads gave "No results found").

Q4: Because of the existing transport connections (A127); nature of terrain and capacity for growth, from the information provided, Dunton Garden Suburb would appear to be the most suitable site.

Q5: Yes - Again, because of transport connections, this would appear to make more sense than releasing sites on the edge of villages in more rural areas.

Q6: Preferable to develop brownfield rather than greenfield sites but any development of Green Belt should be minimised.

Consultation Comments:
1. With a consultation of this importance, it would have been better for Brentwood Council to have notified all residents direct, and with sufficient advance notice. Seemingly, many people across the Borough, have only become aware of it because their individual Parish Councils have notified them in the last 10 days or so.
2. Access to the relevant documents for those without internet facilities should be made easier, this form should only be filled in with reference to the complete consultation document which many will not have seen. Even using online sources, was far from straightforward to locate the appropriate/ latest documents or to complete the form.
