The broad areas of the plan are supported. The focus of these areas around transport corridors reflects the need to focus growth and strategic scale development around these linkages. It should be emphasised that there are smaller scale opportunities in other areas of the borough for development that could provide modest extensions to well-serviced settlements and support the Borough's need for housing in rural areas.

Sunton Garden suburb sets out recognition of housing demand in the area however a spread of housing needs to be provided across the borough in order to meet the housing needs of different areas, the housing need of Hutton/Shenfield/Brentwood and the wider borough will not be met from the delivery of Dunton Garden
Suburb.

In addition the scale and strategic nature of the allocation of the development will present the council with significant challenges in the delivery of housing in the short term. Paragraph 47 of the NPPF to boost significantly the supply of housing, local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years' worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% to ensure choice and competition in the market for land.The infrastructure requirement will be considerable and is not likely to come forward until later in the plan period.

In order to comply with paragraph 47 of the NPPF it is imperative that the Council provide choice and competition for market land, which can only be achieved through the allocation of a range of different sites, not just Dunton Garden Suburb.

Strutt and Parker LLP are acting on behalf of W.H. Norris & Sons in order to further promote land at Wyatt's Green Lane, Wyatt's Green. The land is in single ownership and has been previously submitted, in part, (SHLAA ref: G029) to the Council for consideration due to its potential to provide residential development. The Council has therefore previously considered the potential for this site and recognises that it is both suitable and achievable. Indicative site layout and access have been submitted.

The sites location in relation to the existing settlement boundary ensures there would be a minimal impact on the Green Belt. The site presents a logical extension to the village of Wyatt's Green, with faciltiies at Doddinghurst.

Scenario C in the Strategic Growth Areas Consultation report sets out a Housing Growth that meets objectively assessed needs and accounts for past unmet need. This is based on 6,200 dwellings. In order to meet this objectively assessed need it is centrally important that the council consider the allocation of Green Belt green field sites for residential development.The objectively assessed housing needs for Brentwood Borough Council far exceed the availability of brownfield land in the borough. The council cannot provide a sustainable level of housing in the Borough
without considering suitable greenfield land opportunities.

It is considered preferable to release Greenfield sites on the edge of villages where suitable. Such release of green belt sites should be considered when land is adjacent to existing settlement boundaries and will therefore have a minimal impact on the openness of the countryside. Sites should be considered where they are sustainably located and well-situated with regards to existing community facilities and services.
Overall this representation has demonstrated that land at Wyatt Green Lane, Wyatt's Green represents a logical expansion to the village in order to meet rural housing need and is fully deliverable in planning terms. The allocation of this site would provide a plan that is both justified and effective in meeting the criteria as set out within the NPPF.
