Remove the proposals R25 & R26 for development in Blackmore village from the LDP

1. Plan unsound: no clear strategy. R25/R26 previously deemed 'unsuitable for development'

2. No prior consultation with affected Blackmore residents

3. Plots R25 & R26 Greenbelt. Unsuitable for development owing to flooding, poor access road, extra strain on services

4. Village services already overloaded (e.g. health, education, parking). Developments will exacerbate

5. Poor transport links will suffer further by additional dwellings

6. No evidence of effect developments in adjacent areas will have on Blackmore services, or of Brentwood's consultation with those Councils

7. No evidence of proper examination of alternative sites (brownfield or in other parishes). LDP proposals appear developer-led
