Representation Summary:

The land is of poor quality for such a development, due to drainage issues and potential flooding. Our current bad weather caused chaos all over the town. Do we really want flooded houses to be added to the list? The rural character would be lost. There would be increased traffic Please think of those who already live here.

We were dismayed to learn of the proposed development to Honeypot Lane.
It is baffling that a possible expansion to St Peter's Primary School was turned down to preserve Greenbelt land, only to find the same land potentially laid bare to the developers. It is double standards at best.
Where will all these children be educated and medically looked after? St Peter's gates are shut and the building of a new surgery would be a miracle.

The rural character of the Homesteads estate would be lost. There would be increased traffic and heavy plant chaos for the duration of a five year build. Our roads will become 'rat runs', impacting on local residents with pollution and safety implications. Our children are enjoying safe and quiet roads at the moment.
Please think of those who already live here and don't change the peace in this tranquil part of Brentwood.
We hope our views will be listened to and taken on board in your discussions.
