Countryside Have Woken Up

Countryside Flyer P1 April 2024
Bigger version below

Countryside has sent letters to many addresses close to the proposed development areas. They include a glossy flyer extolling the virtues of their proposals which they seem to be considering putting to the council shortly. The letter tells us of a ‘drop-in’ event they are holding at Brentwood Town FC on 17th April. Local councillors have said that this inappropriate in the middle of a local election campaign. Accordingly they have approached Countryside to ask for the event to be postponed until after the May elections.

In case you didn’t get one of these letters, you can see their snazzy flyer below, they beg many questions, some we have discussed on these pages in the past but some new ones are posed such as:

  • Where will the proposed Biodiversity net gain be achieved? Within the development or elsewhere?
  • Where will the proposed 35% affordable housing be provided? Within the development or elsewhere?
  • Given that the flyer only shows housing on the Northern plot, what is planned for the Southern plot?
  • What are the mysterious black lines on the Aerial view?
