Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 25546

Received: 19/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Alison Ratcliffe

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Sections 04,
08 - Green Belt and Flooding
09 - R25 R26
There is no clear strategy for villages (Inc. Blackmore) in north of borough.
Principle of development off of Red Rose Lane is wrong. There are modest services and infrastructure in Blackmore (an isolated village). School is full, GP waiting times are over 4 weeks, parking in the centre of the village is already a nightmare.
BBC not demonstrated that the required housing could not be met on other (allocated) sites.
There has been no housing need survey to demonstrate why Blackmore is included in the LDP.
Access on/off Red Rose Lane is entirely unsuitable for this volume of traffic. Equally access via Woollard Way 'hammer heads' would be problematical.
Flooding in the village - proposed sites are liable to flood and therefore building on this land will also increase flood risk elsewhere in the village.

Change suggested by respondent:

I fully support the plan put forward by Blackmore Village Heritage Association.
