PART 2 | HOUSING SITES | Brentwood Urban Area - A12 Corridor - Urban Extensions Site ref 022 Land at Honeypot Lane page 77. This site is adjacent to the allotment site on Honeypot Lane. Brentwood Horticultural Society, as managing agents, are responsible for maintaining the amenity of this site for current and future plotholders. BHS urges that housing and the care home on site 022 should be situated to ensure that there is no shading of the allotments which would be detrimental to their main purpose of growing crops and that overlooking should be minimised to preserve the peaceful amenity of users of the allotment site. Before any work starts on 022, including preliminary surveying or groundwork, the allotment site must be protected by a secure, permanent perimeter fence (material etc to be agreed with BHS) with a surrounding buffer zone, preferably preserving or replacing the existing hedging in order to protect both plotholders and local wildlife. Site 022 will inevitably be the target of vandalism and theft and a secure fence is essential round the allotment site to deter entry to 022 via the allotments and to ensure the safety and security of the plotholders. Once work commences on site 022, no entry onto the allotment site must be made by construction staff without the prior agreement of BHS. No vehicles, equipment, materials or waste from site 022 must be parked, placed or dumped on the allotment site at any time. Drainage and waste water from site 022 must be managed and no waste water must be dumped or allowed to run onto the allotment site; any facilities such as Portaloos or rest rooms must be placed well away from the allotment site to ensure that they do not adversely affect the allotment users or the site. These conditions are sought by BHS in order to protect the health and safety of current and future plotholders, as well as to preserve as far as possible the continuing peaceful amenity use of the site for allotment use.
