All car parks in Brentwood have been earmarked for housing and this will give a detrimental effect to the already difficult parking situation and shopping arrangements in the town and affect the local economy. Building on Green belt land leaves no room for natural corridor or aesthetic spaces in the town. Building along the A12 corridor will affect; later widening plans and new houses may need to be compulsorily purchased at a later date. Building off the Ongar Road/ Doddinghurst Road will increase the already problematic traffic situation and pollution levels and will further impede traffic entering Brentwood particularly at Rush hour times. The Ongar Road already has twelve separate lights/roundabouts coming into Brentwood. Schools are already oversubscribed and new schools will need to be built, where is the provision for this? Other services, Doctors, Dentists, Water, Sewerage is already at maximum capacity and no extra provision is made to increase this. 023B Under the corner of our house , a 16ft storm drain runs out into the Green Belt land under the Doddinghurst Road area and Anglian Water prevents building over this. We like the idea of the Dunton Hills garden Village with new infrastructure and would welcome more such Garden Village building along the M11 or A127 corridor as these can be designed with affordable housing and new purpose built infrastructure. We would look to downsize in the next few years and would need a smaller house/dormer bungalow at affordable prices on one of the Garden Village sites if these were available. There are others in our age group 55-75 who are also looking to move but cannot find suitable property in the Brentwood Area
