Sort of but careful thought and consideration.
Q1: No - Only in specific areas (contain). If villages continue to be built in/on they very quickly become towns spoiling infrastructure, wildlife habitat, increased noise levels etc.
Q4: Site 200 - The Dunton Garden Suburb. Great care would have to be taken re: the infrastructure, avoid flooding/access etc.
Q5: No - But must depend on the individual site.
Q6: This depends on the site BUT NOT in Green Belt bordering areas which include areas such as Stondon Massey, Blackmore, Doddinghurst etc.
Q7: No - Depends on the need for work, economic growth. Development should necessarily be because of highway network or other transport.
