Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

As far as I am aware no "housing needs survey" has been performed to show why Blackmore is included in the LDP. Blackmore is an established village and it would appear that an increase in demand on the infrastructure is not viable. I understand that the village school s full and the Deal Tree medical centre is reported to have one of the highest patient to practitioner rations in certainly Essex. The access onto and off Red Rose Lane will not be suitable for the anticipated increase in traffic. The sites R25 and R26 have over the years suffered from persistent flooding.
I believe that around 30 houses are being or will be constructed at the top of Fingrith Hall Lane.

Change suggested by respondent:

Sites R25 and R26 need to be removed from the plan.
I suggest the planners need to read the BVHA neighbourhood plan which includes the Blackmore local housing requirements for what is clearly an existing sustainable community.

The items I have referred to in my response were patently inadequately discussed in the prematurely shortened meeting chaired by the Mayor.
