Support SO7 as it seeks to make the most of the benefits that will be bought to the Borough by Crossrail, providing a faster and more frequent link to and through London.

Welcomes the recognition within Policy 5.1 of the importance that the Borough's
transport corridors can play in providing sustainable, well connected locations for additional development within the Borough. In doing so the Policy acknowledges that there will be limited release of Green Belt land for development within these corridors.

Existing location of Spire Hartswood Hospital is relatively small and is constrained despite various granted planning permissions to extend the hosital, therefore Spire Healthcare proposes to relocate to a site within the proposed Gateway Area.

The proposed site presents a more accessible location via sustainable transport modes. The hospital would operate a Green Travel Plan to promote a car sharing for staffs, as well as electric car charging points.

The proposed hospital cam be delivered within 5 years and will provide a vital service to the residents of the Borough.

Since the site is within the Green Belt, the design and layout will mitigate, as far as is practical, harm to the openness of the Green Belt by incorporating landscaped areas around the hospital.

Support Policy 6.5 that aims to enhance a positive impression of the Borough, with development helping to create a distinctive and clear entry into Brentwood.

In particular, Spire supports the identification of the junction between the A12 and Road A1023 as a Key Gateway, as it represents a key entry point for vehicular traffic, travelling along the A12, and traffic entering the Borough to access Shenfield and Brentwood.

Spire's proposals to provide a new state of the art hospital at relocated site will meet all the aims and objectives of the Key Gateway policy. The proposals will seek to provide a high quality building that marks a Gateway into Brentwood from the A12.

Support Policy 6.2 that acknowledges the importance that previously developed land and redundant uses within the settlement boundary can make to deliver the Council's overall Spatial Strategy.

If relocated to the proposed site, the existing Spire Hartswood Hospital site in Brentwood represents an opportunity that will contribute to housing need within the Borough.

The Council should apply the national policy position in relation to proposals for Green Belt development. This is however should be considered in the context that Brentwood is extremely constrained by Green Belt, and that part of the Council's Growth Strategy includes the limited release of Green Belt sites, and also the development of Key Gateway sites, many of which fall within the Green Belt
designation.
