Please find attached a plan and details of Gardeners Ongar Road Brentwood.
The owners are Ordnance Land (Holdings) Ltd.
Gardeners extends to approximately 8 acres and faces the Ongar road and Frog Street. Gardeners clearly have defensible boundaries, being surrounded by roads, houses and a wood. At present there is a house with outbuildings on the site with the land being used as garden land for the house.
The site lies less than 0.5 miles from the shops at Kelvedon Hatch. There are well maintained pavements from the site to the shops. Within 300 yards of the site are 6 bus stops, providing a regular service to recognized employment areas and Brentwood Station. There are two primary schools within 0.6 miles.
The site lies in adjacent to the public footpath network and less than 200 yards from Bentley Golf and Country Club and is just over 0.5 miles from Ashwells Sports.
The site has two access points that have been previously recognized by the Council- one off the Ongar Road and one of Frog Street. The site is capable of containing Housing.
The site is well screened and would not adversely affect the openness of the Green Belt in visual terms. The site is available immediately for development.
