Received: 19/03/2019

Respondent: Doddinghurst Infant School

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

There has been no consultation on the actual requirements for the village of Blackmore for example the services that will be required to meet the demand that the additional housing will bring. There has also been no consultation with neighbouring authorities, ie, Epping Forest and their allowed development of 30+ houses at the top of Fringirth Hall Lane and the effect these additional houses will have. The current social amenities, health education and transport one already over subscribed and therefore any additional housing will need these facilities upgraded prior to any building commence. This has not been identified in the proposed plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

In order to accommodate the 70 additional houses the current road system will need to be upgraded and in place. The current school provision is operating close to maximum and there is no room to expand the school. The local health centre is also under pressure and it can take up to 3 weeks to get a doctors appointment unless classed as an emergency.
