In respect of the Green Wedge arrow to the west of Brentwood, it doesn't separate any settlements given it is such a wide tract of land. Furthermore, this tract of land doesn't separate Brentwood from Pilgrim's Hatch because they are joined to the north and will be further joined by proposed site allocations R16 & R17.
Clearly, these Green Wedges have informed the Spatial Strategy but when considering the Key Diagram, they do not all serve the function as expressed in paragraph. 8.93. Further analysis of the Green Belt, landscape and settlement coalescence is submitted with these representations.
Remove the north west green wedge symbol from the Key Diagram.

The Key Diagram sets out the main aspects of the Spatial Strategy and diagrammatically includes three green wedges around the Brentwood urban area. Reference is made to 'green wedges of Green Belt' separating the urban areas of Brentwood and Shenfield in the explanation to Policy NE9 - Green Belt (para. 8.93).
