Against. Due to reasons of extra traffic and associated congestion and pollution, AND lack of local infrastructure (Doctor surgeries, schools, local transport/Buses etc) which should be provided and in place BEFORE the houses and in built ( assuming they are built at all ).
I believe a few years ago, there was a proposal by one party to turn this area into a local country park. This would ADD to the lifestyle and enjoyment of the local area for ALL existing Brentwood and Shenfield residents. Making this a country park would give extra recreational facilities for the local community to enjoy. A nice idea.
However, here we are again, yet more housing. Your plan is turning Brentwood and Shenfield into yet another overcrowded built up town! You are simply planning too many houses and far too quickly, in a rapidly becoming overcrowded area, squeezing us all in together.
Main Objections:
1.Traffic - The roads in this area are already very congested at times, There are already other sites that are being proposed close to this area via this same plan.
All these developments in and around Officers Meadows will greatly add to the traffic in the area, its associated congestion and pollution.
2. Local facilities - As usual, are the local facilities being expanded to cope with all the extra people these houses will bring? Doctors surgeries, Buses and bus routes, school places etc. Are these all agreed and being supplied BEFORE the housing is in place so the area at least has a chance to cope?
