Preferred Site Allocations Consultation
Quadrillion Construction Ltd are a local Building & Development Contractor based in Ingatestone and therefore take a keen interest in local building affairs.
Following the prime minister's recent speech at the Royal Town Planning Institute conference we whole heartedly support the strategy a) not to sacrifice green belt on the altar of new homes, b) make better use of brownfield sites, c) green belt sites exist not to preserve landscapes but to prevent urban sprawl, d) look at sites that have previuosly been built on rather than opting for virgin countryside.
ANY site chosen for development must not cause substantial harm to the environment or cause the loss of ancient woodland, local wildlife sites and natural watercourses.
We therefore oppose development of the sites particularly allocated as 263, 276,034,235,087 & 158 along the A12 corridor as items a-d above applies in all respects.
We do support the brownfield sites initiatives and in some instances where green belt is within settlement boundaries, where services and infrastructure can be extended and utilised. Provided Open Space was maintained this would be more readily accepted by the community, be less disruptive to deliver and therefore more expedient and have financial benefits of being more affordable.
