This area is within the established Green Belt and borders the Blackmore Conservation area. It is agricultural land that has been worked as both arable and pasture land alongside other working farms. This site is subject to frequent flooding which leads to flooding in Redrose Lane making the road impassable to both traffic and pedestrians. The works necessary to alleviate the ongoing drainage problems have been outstanding for a considerable time and would need to be extensively carried out before any building allowed. The proposed development of 56 dwellings is a scandalous overdevelopment.
This area is within the established green belt. The LDP incorrectly defines this plot as 'small village infill' and incorrectly as being connected to the Doddinghurst urban area.
We need to preserve our greenbelt areas.The intention of the Greenbelt legislation is to permanently provide and protect open space, a concept endorsed by Teresa May in her recent speech where she promised to protect the green belt
