Brentwood Council to read and discuss the plan in the correct manner not treat it as a foregone conclusion because of a cut off time. This procedure should not be allowed at such an important meeting, It was disgraceful what they did its not the first time they have done wrong at a planning meeting and they should be ashamed of their behaviour and attitude. What they did was undemocratic to say the least. They should reopen this file and study the evidence and discuss the findings.
We should have a legal hearing in public which we were denied.

The plan is unsound because it does not take into consideration the Green Belt, the lack of infrastructure here it just feels like they have stuck a pin in a map and said that will do.
Blackmore is a Historical Village according to some Cllrs, one of the jewels in the crown of Brentwood. Sharing the title with South Weald. We are not within walking distance of any doctors, the only Hospital we have is Brentwood which has no casualty now, a blood test which is urgent the nearest hospital is a twenty mile round trip eg Basildon, Southend, Romford. We have one bus an hour.
South Weald is close to Brentwood nearer to all senior schools and junior, easily walkable to the town and station, more buses and close to the M25 yet the land there has been withdrawn from the plan this does not make sense. We are not nimbyist it is just common sense to build closer to the town,
Our sewerage is pumped nobody seems to care whether the station can cope. All we are told is this will be sorted by the developers. Our school is at bursting point yet we are told maybe there will be some 106 agreement money come our way. This school has been under developed since the 80's my daughter was in the relocatables list and she is about to become a Granny. The extension was never built.
Flooding is another hazard Brentwood chooses to ignore. This village has been Badly flooded several times. The current when this happened is very strong, damage serious and life threatening but BBC are not interested.

I know my village and Brentwood I have lived in Brentwood for 75 years, in Blackmore nearly 48. I was part of the rescue team in the village floods as was my son. I was the village postie for 20 years out in all weather and have a good knowledge of the village and its needs. I did doctors and hospital runs for the elderly, shopped for them and often stayed all night when they were ill or bereaved, that's what you do.
This is a great village but it will not cope with another mass of houses building on this piece of Green Belt will only encourage more farmers to sell once they cross the line this village will spread. BBC have broken the Green Belt rules.
We need these fields Britain is an island in times of trouble we have needed every bit of land we had or we could not have survived.
