Housing should be largely proportionate and appropriate to each settlement and greater in number for the larger settlements that would be able to accommodate, and provide for, sustainable growth.
Therefore whilst we do not dispute that Hutton, Warley, Brook Street and Pilgrims Hatch are sustainable and can support new development, it should be recognised that Brentwood and Shenfield are the most sustainable locations and can accommodate higher levels of growth. It is therefore suggested that Brentwood and Shenfield are defined as Category 1A settlements and the remaining settlements as Category 1B to make this distinction and to also support the approach contained within the Policy 5.1

The inclusion of Hutton within Settlement Category 1 suggests it is an appropriate and sustainable location to direct a proportion of growth towards. However, it is unclear how the settlement hierarchy has informed the selection of sites for development within the DLP.

With regard to the spatial strategy the significant contribution of 2,500 new homes cannot realistically be provided within settlement category 1, namely the main town of Brentwood, settlement category 2 namely the village service centres such as Ingatestone (noting that Dunton would be so categorised in due course) nor settlement 3 namely the larger villages or settlement category 4 namely the smaller villages.
