Sir / Madam
Can I ask why Honeypot Lane is still a proposed site for developing 200 houses . Are you just totally ignoring how the residents feel ?
We had a signed petition that built up in many hundreds ,Surely common sense tells you that this should not be considered and that the new Dunton Village site would be able to take on the required additional housing as it will hopefully have the facilities to take it. I notice that the only consideration you have is the flooding for Honeypot Lane !! which is a consistent issue down a very narrow lane but what about all the other issues.?
The narrow restriction in the Lane and also in Weald Road which causes congestion all the way up to Laura Ashley Corner , why would you want to increase another flow of on average 300 cars ? and that is without the increase from Nags Head Lane development which will also be using this already congested bit of road as we all know Honeypot is cut through. Some mornings it takes me 10- 15 minutes to reverse into Honeypot Road from my sloped drive way due to the cars queuing to get out either end of the Lane.
The schools are already over subscribed in the area
You have to wait 10 days- 2 weeks for the local Doctor because they are over subscribed
Dentist is about 4- 6 weeks waiting list
Sainsbury's despite increasing spaces still cant cope with the demand and the queue to get in blocks up all along the back of the high street and you also want to loose another car park and increase the traffic flow ?
Its just madness and is in the totally wrong place surely Dunton Village could take on most of this additional housing. Honeypot Lane along with Nags Head, Police site etc. is all too much in a concentrated bit of Brentwood Please Please listen to the people that live there.
I await with your rationale behind the decision
Many Thanks
