Object to further encroachment into green-belt, protected and rural landscape at Codham Hall south of the A127. Although, I recognise the need for further business sites as explained by Planners, I question the logic of this as increasingly business is conducted on-line and there are various sites with long-term vacant offices in Warley (Regis, Warley Business Park, Old Pump Works). If there is to be development here then buildings should be of very high specification, low-rise, screened by trees and have as low an impact on the rural nature of this area as possible. This is green-belt land and should have been returned to that status once Highways England finished using it.
101B Codham Hall farm north of A127
I object in the strongest possible terms to any further development at Codham Hall Farm, north of the A127, to the west or the east of what's currently there. This area has been developed regardless of green-belt policies, invisible from any direction apart from above through Google maps (satellite) The unlawful development has been going on for around 15 years and should be stopped in its tracks. I have grave concerns that fields are increasingly being encroached on for increasing array of businesses and that Planning enforcement has been non-existent here. This is green-belt land and should be protected. The site maps show a far bigger area will be implicated than already is, which I totally oppose.
112D Childerditch Industrial Site
Residents of Little Warley Hall Lane have, in the past, suffered from noise generated by the Childerditch Industrial Estate from early in the morning until 6.00pm six days a week. The proposal to extend to the north-west further towards those houses, is a step too far. This is greenbelt land and should remain as a buffer between the homes in Little Warley Hall Lane and the rest of the industrial site. As a Councillor I've supported residents battling with the threats of increased noise and light pollution at this site and am therefore opposed to further development.
101A Codham Hall south of A127.
This is green-belt land and forms one of the gateways to Brentwood though a rural landscape so I'm basically opposed to this as local Ward Councillor. Although, I recognise the need for further business sites as explained by Planners, I question the logic of this as increasingly business is conducted on-line and there are various sites with long-term vacant offices in Warley (Regis, Warley Business Park, Old Pump Works)
If there is to be development here then, as repeatedly requested, the buildings should be of very high specification, low-rise, screened by trees and have as low an impact on the rural nature of this area as possible. This is green-belt land and should have been returned to that status once Highways England finished using it, as originally agreed so there MUST be consideration & mitigation of the effect of grabbing yet another chunk of green-belt for business sprawl.
