Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 19508

Received: 05/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Roy Felstead

Representation Summary:

The road infrastructure in the area would not be able to cope with the additional cars which are to be expected from the proposal. The local schools and GP surgeries are already at capacity. The proposed development would add to the area being used as a rat run. The site is greenbelt and should be protected.

It is common local knowledge Honeypot Lane is a small narrow road with single lane passing. It would not support a heavier work load that this development would bring for the coming 5 years of build time and later to support 4/500 cars plus services and emergency traffic adding to an already heavy polluted area. Apart from the general infrastructure being totally inadequate there would be no support for schooling the potential 200/400 extra school children in the area, no local school could accommodate them, no doctor would able able to enlist such an increase in population, there is no transport system in place to cope with such an increase in children and residents. It will create a larger Rat Run than what already exists through Honeypot Lane, Hill Road, South Weald Road, Hillside Walk on homestead estates. An area unique to Brentwood, which should be preserved, treasured and enjoyed by everyone, not be destroyed, sadly areas such as these are becoming a rarity. Kindly consider and prioritise our neighbourhood and prevent this unacceptable development from progressing becoming a reality, preserve what little is left of the Green Belt, this proposal will only set a president for the future.
