Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 24511

Received: 06/06/2019

Respondent: Mrs Terri Reed

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Because we are on the Brentwood borders, no account has been taken of the development being undertaken by Epping & Chelmsford RIGHT ON OUR DOORSTEP, impacting on local facilities. Alternative sites have been ignored, even when more suitable

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove sites R25 and R26. Consider what Blackmore really needs not what ticks a few boxes, and what suits developers. The BHVA have worked hard to proposal alternative which are sustainable. They know the village better then the people behind the unsustainable proposal currently on the table.

Local plan Is unsound
The sites are unsuitable for building, they are liable to flood and the road is not suitable as it is too narrow & also it regularly floods, cars get trapped.
I am unaware if a housing need survey is being carried out.
The infrastructure is already at bursting point. Children turned away from the local school as full; Drs surgery over stretched already; no parking in village centre

Alternative sites have been ignored, even when more suitable,
Inadequate public transport - you can't live here without a car. Most families have 2 or more.
Remove sites R25 and R26.
Consider what Blackmore really needs not what ticks a few boxes, and hat suits developers

These forms have been a nightmare to complete. I would suggest that this is the only way to get our case across, & people should be given a chance to express themselves in person.
