Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 19162

Received: 26/02/2018

Respondent: Ms Katherine Livermore

Representation Summary:

This proposal will effect the local wildlife, greenbelt land, local residents in the surrounding areas, the A127, the hospitals. This will also cause major disruption to passengers on the c2c/other rail train. Flooding becomes an even bigger risk in an already 'boggy' landscape with running surface water. Will this development not drive house prices down in the surrounding areas such and raise house prices in North Brentwood?! It seems like you plan on keeping these new homes far from Brentwood's main 'hub' in order to protect its bubble and outcasting these proposed new homes out of your site.

Good morning

I wholeheartedly object to the above development plan.

Not only does this effect the local wildlife/greenbelt land in the area, this also effects the local residents in the areas surrounding which proposed development.
The A127 is already congested at the best of times, with a congestion charge already being considered for certain stretches of the A127.
This will cause major disruption to passengers on the c2c/other rail train who already pay premium through the roof to even get on the train, let along manage to get a seat.
Flooding becomes an even bigger risk in an already 'boggy' landscape with running surface water.
With hospitals already stretched comprehension, you are suggesting thousands upon thousands of more potential patients for these struggling hospitals.
Will this development not also drive house prices down in the local surrounding areas such as Langdon Hills, West Horndon etc and raise house prices in North Brentwood?!
It seems like in order to resolve your own borough's housing issue, you plan on keeping these new homes far from Brentwood's main 'hub' in order to protect its bubble and outcasting these proposed new homes out of your site, whatever the cost.
