We strongly object to the exclusion of our client's land at Spital Lane, Brentwood as an allocation within the category 'Green Belt Land - Edge of Brentwood Urban Area'. The exclusion of this site has not been justified by the Council, yet very comparable sites have been included in this list. This land is available, achievable and suitable for development and could contribute to the 5-year housing supply.

We strongly object to the manner land at Spital Lane has been assessed in the recent Green Belt Study. This site has been illogically assessed as part of an unrelated landscape character area, the robustness of this study must be called in question. Spital Lane has been included as part of area 33a, which primarily relates to land north of the A12. There is no physical connectivity between Spital Lane and 33a and there is no visual connection as the A12 acts a physical and visual barrier. The site should have been assessed as part of its own character area.

The land at Spital Lane is given the reference 035B within the 'Preferred Site Allocations Site Selection Methodology and Summary of Outcomes Working Draft'. It is accepted that this land has potential for up to 22 dwellings. But this land has been discounted on the basis that falls within a flood zone. This is an incorrect statement and ignores evidence previously submitted that demonstrates that the majority of the site falls within flood zone 1, i.e. low flooding risk.
