Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Refer to attached form. The infrastructure is already stretched, and these additional developments would have a significant negative impact to the local community including provision for medical services and schooling. Bus services to larger employment locations (Brentwood Chelmsford, Epping) are totally inadequate. The designated sites have flooding issues, a problems across wider Blackmore footprint and development will cause further problems, increasing the flood rate.
There are other Brownfield sites within existing urban boundaries (and local infrastructure and transport grids) better suited to development, negating the need to destroy Green Belt environments. There has been no evidence that Blackmore has a housing need requiring such scale of development.
Sites R25 and R26 should be removed form the LDP and the planners should refer to the BVHA 'neighbourhood plan' which clearly sets out our local housing needs, for our already sustainable community.

Change suggested by respondent:

Sites R25 and R26 should be removed form the LDP and the planners should refer to the BVHA 'neighbourhood plan' which clearly sets out our local housing needs, for our already sustainable community.
