I object to the use of greenbelt land for housing we need to keep London separate from Essex.
Green Belt should not be built on. Brentwood council is getting Basildon to build houses on their land that should be built in Brentwood. If Brentwood has to build houses build them on the A128 side of this plot. The A127 itself is too small for the traffic now, let alone with 6000 + homes added to the usage.
Dunton A127 roundabout is at capacity. It is a crazy idea to think that it can be used as an entrance for another 6000 homes.
Small villages like Dunton are few and far between and the eradication of such places is further destruction of our English way of life. We don't need this many houses Brentwood is going way over the amount of housing required. What about the strain on existing services in Basildon?
1) This land is green belt and should not be built upon.
2) I feel from the consultation meeting that this is Brentwood council getting Basildon to build houses on their land that should be built in Brentwood.
3) If Brentwood has to build houses build them on the A128 side of this plot. The A128 and the subsequent A127 roundabout are far bigger and less used.
4) The A127 itself is too small for the traffic now, let alone with 6000 + homes added to the usage.
5)Dunton A127 roundabout serves a main road into Laindon, A massive boot sale (Sundays and Wednesdays + bank holidays), Lower Dunton road , Ford test centre offices (1000's of employees all who drive), and soon houses built at the fortune of war are going to be finished and starting to use this small roundabout too.
It is a crazy idea to think that it can be used as an entrance for another 6000 homes, I am sure the highways agency will not readily approve it.
6) Small villages like Dunton are few and far between and the eradication of such places is further destruction of our English way of life.
7) we don't need this many houses anyway brentwood is going way over the amount of housing required by the government.
8) What about the strain on existing services in Basildon like schools and doctors, police, firemen etc I think we were told this amount of housing will warrant 5 primary schools and a secondary school where are they going to be located?
9) Why do we need this anyway all the flats in Basildon at Icon and Morello corner didn't exactly fly off the shelves did they??(I'm led to believe that some have yet to be sold) and the next stage has not been built probably due to lack of interest. ??
10) Basildon council and the highways authority have objected to plans for 50 houses further down lower Dunton road at Malgraves farm as it is not a road suited to any more traffic, so how can the other end of the same road be a viable option?
