The land concerned is in the A12 corridor behind our house.
* Has the A12 widening project been considered in choosing this land? From the draft consultation of widening, it was proposed to compulsorily purchase houses at the end of Warescot Road and Warescot Close or tunnel underneath these houses. If houses are built on the new piece of land these may be taken out under the A12 plan at a later date.
* The land concerned is greenfield green belt land and this further erodes the green belt. There are badgers, deer, foxes and many birds on the land- there is a big badger set behind our house.
* Under our house there runs a 16ft sewer pipe which goes out into the land. When we built our extension, we were allowed special permission to build as the house pre-dated the sewer. Building would not be allowed over the sewer by the water board.
* All the schools locally are full to capacity and new school places/ school buildings would be needed to educate the children from the new houses. Could you build a new school on the North side in Pilgrims Hatch
* Doctor's surgeries are full to capacity. Why not build a new Doctor's surgery on the North side of the land to accommodate Pilgrims Hatch people?
* Traffic congestion in the area is bad especially at rush -hour times- A new link to the A12 could be useful to avoid everyone having to funnel through Brentwood. Brook Street roundabout would need to be improved.
* The area needs "affordable" houses for people aiming to downsize and young couples buying their first house. Affordable needs to be lower priced but with space for a growing or returning family
* Have you thought about building a new village with new infrastructure and linked to the M25 to the North of Brentwood. As downsizers and parents of young adults we would welcome this if the houses were right and probably lots of other people would feel the same.
* For the plot of land 023, there could be fewer houses, not near to A12- 250 is too many
