I do not agree with the proposal for building 4000 - 6000 homes as part of the the draft l plan. I do not believe that the local infrastructure will be able to sustain this extra population . The schools , GPs , roads & rail infrastructure is already at breaking point. The trains are overcrowded & people already have to stand and this is without extra people trying to use the services.The roads are already jammed. And it is already difficult for current residents to get places in local schools or see their gps.There are no plans in the document for a new secondary school to the west of the district to educate the extra children that the development will bring.
We will lose valuable green spaces and the impact on local wildlife will be devastating .
we need to protect the green belt to prevent London joining up with Southend in the East.The green belt acts a a buffer zone .
As obesity becomes more of an issue the lack of open spaces for children to play and people to exercise in for free will exacerbate this.This will in turn cause increased pressure on the NHS.
The more homes that are built will lead to an increase in traffic and this in turn will lead to poorer air quality and an increase in respiratory diseases . This will cause the NHS to become even more stretched.
The development should be shared throughout the whole of Brentwood and not just on the South Eastern Boundary with Basildon.
