Remove DHGV from plan

Dear Sir/Madam,

Brentwood Councils Local Plan
& re Dunton Hills Garden Village

I object to DUNTON HILLS GARDEN VILLAGE (DHGV) for the following reasons: -
BRENTWOOD RESIDENTS WANT DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH OF THE BOROUGH, North Brentwood, Pilgrims Hatch and Greenfield sites North of A12 to keep families together and to provide Affordable/Social Housing.
Easy to build and have major new roads e.g. to M25 and others upgraded etc.
These areas have superb Infrastructure, Air Quality and other major benefits.

PLEASE NOTE:
The council state nothing is your problem to confirm is safe & risk free.
You will not be providing any funding for anything.
Infrastructure is always someone else's problem: NHS; Essex County Council, Bus Companies, C2C's etc.
ALSO THE COUNCILS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM IS CERTAINLY OUTSTANDING, as no-one can trust your facts without checking.
For better information and accurate facts, rather than Brentwood Councils waffle VISIT WWW.DUNTONEXPLOITATION.CO.UK
1. THE COSTS TO ENSURE NO PROBLEMS AT DHGV alone means site UNVIABLE BUT THEN Brentwood's Political Bias & Greed takes over (see point 4).
2. Brentwood describe Dunton as: -
(A) Considered Outside of Brentwood's District
&
(B) IMPORTANTLY describe it as Fenland (Meaning low marshy area & together with their reports likely to Flood/Have Surface Water besides Soil & Water Contamination besides the Major Gas Pipe-Line but state is not Brentwood Councils problem ).
Is actually the worst site considered (which is a critical drainage area) confirming is unsuitable for development but considers is the most profitable and keeps residents out of Brentwood's main area.
3. (NEW TOWN) Currently reported 4,000 New Homes, in their January 2018 Local Plan (as advised intend to bring forward further proposed development and then increased further as understand site could double in size as far more land available to them).
4. DHGV is quoted as a self-sufficient site; however, Brentwood's Director of Strategic Planning has stated will rely on Basildon's Infrastructure.
Thereby, all income profits go to Brentwood Council and year on year maintenance costs and problems fall on Basildon Council and its Residents.
For Brentwood Council is a WIN - WIN situation: will receive over £36,000,000 from government and vast council tax with little outlay.
5. Brentwood Council is aware their Local Plan (at least in part) especially regarding DHGV is unsound.
6. Brentwood Council NOW ADVISE after over 4 years is producing an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) which will provide an overview of the infrastructure requirements associated with the Local Plan and how Brentwood intend to support the development.
However unable to supply any information to back the IDP comment!
Again proves that the Planning Department officers lied when supplying information and why unable to answer simple basic questions.
7. It appears the council deliberately want to proceed even though the facts quoted cannot be factually backed up as currently appear flawed and rigged.
8. Appears council and the Council Leader, Louise Mckinley are trying their utmost to push through DHGV, without proper scrutiny, as concerned would not be passed by Planning Inspectorate if actual facts known.
From their actions appears they do not want General Public or Residents to obtain information.
9. Brentwood Council including Planning and Louise McKinley, council leader, unable to answer relevant questions with factual information, only waffle.
10. Brentwood Council admit unable to supply Masterplan or what Infrastructure will actually be provided (and have lied about for over 4 years) as is currently only their thinking, ifs/maybes and may never be built.
11. Brentwood Council and the council leader are deliberately not responding to outstanding questions or emails (some nearly 2 months, well overdue) as appear extremely concerned that then could easily prove Reports have been Fabricated/Manipulated to misrepresent the best areas for development and in fact where the best areas are.
12. E.g. Brentwood Council dismissed building 2,300 New Homes at Pilgrims Hatch for reasons given, however, the same and worse applies to Dunton.
13. All consultations on Brentwood Councils Local Plan, have been bought into disrepute as no-one knows the real details/facts on the various proposed sites as Brentwood Council 'Keep On Moving The Goalposts', SO HOW CAN ANYONE ACCURATELY COMMENT!
What are the facts and which are fiction!
14. In the submission for the £528,000 grant, listed 10 Key Milestones to be completed by October 2018, yet the council have admitted have not carry out any, so how can Brentwood Council be trusted.
15. FACTUAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN RIGGED/AMENDED, GIVEN A DIFFERENT SLANT/REPRESENTATION by Brentwood Council.
16. There are more points but this is enough for now, without listing them all.
BRENTWOOD COUNCIL ARE LIKE THE PROVERB, 'A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS', thereby they change details/comments at whim to whatever suits their purpose.

Brentwood Councils Local Plan, January 2018, shows 4,000 New Homes and advised wish built in current planning period.
(16,000 people and 8,000 vehicles besides over 30+ Travellers/Gypsy pitches).
BUT UNDERSTAND MAY WELL DOUBLE SIZE IN FUTURE!

Intend to build well over 50% of their New Homes target (appears nearly 65%), SOUTH of the A127 which they consider OUTSIDE of Brentwood Districts AREA.
It is obvious that Brentwood intends to build a New Town rather than a Village and will use every means at their disposal to build DHGV even though the Local Development Plans details after scrutiny do not stack up.
Have requested information NOW so have time to check the facts and stop this unethical development in its tracks, unless the council can supply accurate documentation which stands up to scrutiny!
Please acknowledge receipt.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely

Jeffrey Goodwin
