We support the statement "Where conservation is the primary objective, there will be a presumption in favour of native species" However we believe that there should be a statement in brackets at this point that refers to the case when the primary objective is screening of industrial/commercial and housing sites and that the wording should be:

"Where screening of industrial, commercial and housing sites is the primary purpose, then species may be chosen appropriate to that purpose and it is not mandatory that native species be deleted"

Our CPRE group considers that in addition to policies (i) to (iii) that are quoted, that it should be explicitly stated that any proposed development on existing school playing fields within built up areas are incompatible with Council policy, and in addition so is a school planning to relocate out of a non-green belt Brentwood area to a greenbelt Brentwood area and at the time or subsequently requiring green belt land to be converted to school playing fields

It is not obvious from this section that 'Institutional Use' is inappropriate development for the Green Belt, and we believe it would be useful to confirm that fact at the beginning of this section
