Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Will increase existing flooding issues in and around village.
Proposals should be reduced to 30 dwellings to allow community to cope.
Facilities are already struggling.
Should focus building in Brentwood.
The recent development in Epping Forest DC is on the same road.
Traffic will be a nightmare as Blackmore is already used as a cut through.
No housing needs survey;
Red Rose Lane unsuitable for heavy traffic.

Change suggested by respondent:

Road network to be improved, including road widening from A414 to the village. Suitable drainage, speed restrictions etc.
Increased NHS facilities as it is impossible to get a doctors appointment at Deal Tree health centre.
Development of local school facility to cope with an increase of 100 families in the area.
The current local shop/post office is inadequate in size to cope and will need to increase.
Increases in public transport.
Flood improvements and preventative measures to be put in place.
Increase parking facilities (nightmare as it is already!)

Full text:

Building on land liable to flood and increase the chance of drainage issues all around the village including farm land and local residents properties.
Building the amount of houses currently suggested should be reduced to less than 30 to allow the community to cope. There's already too many residents for the facilities we currently have.
Other more suitable locations should be considered closer to Brentwood and the recent development by Epping Forest DC is on the same road. Traffic will be a nightmare as Blackmore is already used as a cut through.
No housing needs survey;
Red Rose Lane unsuitable for heavy traffic.
Proposed modifications:
Road network to be improved, including road widening from A414 to the village. Suitable drainage, speed restrictions etc.
