Proposed sites and access roads are liable to flood and more homes increase this risk. Red Rose Lane floods regularly as does access to the village around the pond.
These have been set out in the BVHA neighbourhood plan and I refer to this document.

There is no clear strategy for rural communities in borough. Blackmore has been stripped of public services.
No consideration of development already occurring around Blackmore, recent planning decisions in Blackmore to reduce the housing stock whilst 30 new homes on Fingrith Hall Lane with their impact on village. Neighbouring Councils not consulted.
Development is ill considered as village has reduced public services, poor infrastructure, inadequate transport links, oversubscribed school and GP, parking problems, all cant cope with existing community. Parking controls not enforced, roads often unpassable
Development will push village envelop out into surrounding agricultural land and set an endless precedent for developers.
This development, not mentioned in previous LDP drafts, does not demonstrate an example of sustainable development and more suitable sites appear to the available in Shenfield and Brentwood.
Brownfields sites do not appear to have ben investigated fully and should take precedent over green belt. The ancient hedgerow boundary to Red Rose Lane also appears not to have been considered. It has been cut back hard for the first time in decades.
Document doesn't demonstrate required housing density? For Brentwood cannot be included as part of the provision identified in other allocated sites in the borough.
Housing needs survey not been done, so why was Blackmore selected for development and how would housing type be decided?
Existing road infrastructure inadequate - congestion, parking, road sizes.
Proposed sites and access roads are liable to flood and more homes increase this risk. Red Rose Lane floods regularly as does access to the village around the pond.
Changes have been set out in the BVHA neighbourhood plan and I refer to this document.
Happy to be represented by the BVHA and Roger Keeble
