Representation Summary:

Red Rose Lane is narrow and winding, cars have to slow down to pass. There are ditches on either side and no footpaths. The exit onto Nine Ashes Road often floods and is a particularly junction, right by the school. An increase in traffic would be a great risk. Blackmore is a very small village and despite being very isolated has a minimal bus service. There is one shop a full school that is already over stretched and a doctor surgery that isn't cope now. The narrow roads are unsuitable for heavy traffic and already car parking problems. Blackmore village cannot possibly cope with the strem of the proposed developments on its infrastructure. I therefore consider the plan to be unsound. Why choose Blackmore greenbelt when there are other locations within Brentwood Borough Council more sustainable.

Living on Red Rose Lane I see continuous stream of dog walkers, joggers, hikers, cyclists and horse riders all enjoying a country village lane. It is narrow and winding, cars have to slow down to pass. There are ditches on either side and no footpaths.
