Representation Summary:

Noticed Ingrave isn't marked as a location for improvement or partial urbanisation. In the SA , Figure 5.8 as an option would reduce parking. In the town centre, Sainsbury's parking is already full and costs money to park. Table 6.1 in the SA [Sustainability Appraisal] notes Brentwood ranks low with "significant effects". Urbanisation in these areas could further effect the biodiversity and quality if further traffic is added. This relates back to 024 Sawyers Hall Lane. The railway station in Brentwood being made into homes would mean people could park and would be able to counter productive to an increase in housing and local traffic.
I feel a reduction in car parking would be a detriment to Brentwood community in come and ability for Brentwood to be a high street to visit since there is already limited parking.
Even if 9.4.9 'other modes of transport' [Sustainability Appraisal] mean increasing local pots for the council as money making. I feel that older people cannot always rely on public transport. My experience is that it is slow and unreliable.
I would prefer to pay for parking. This would enable me and my older family to retain independence around the neighbourhood rather than worrying about catching the bus.
If your plan 9.4.10 [Sustainability Appraisal] states that there are no 'significant positive effects' doesn't this require re-evaluation to enable better effects?

Change suggested by respondent:

Has considered local opinions to an extent but requires further local consultation with residents.

Agree with development of West Horndon Industrial Estate, concerned about congestion from development to the north of Brentwood and Pilgrims Hatch. Sawyers Hall Lane development would result in loss of greenery and increase in local pollution. Noticed Ingrave isn't marked as a location for improvement or partial urbanisation.

The Ingatestone urbanisation took several years. My concern that disruption closer to Brentwood could cause delays to local traffic.
I would prefer to pay for parking. This would enable me and my older family to retain independence around the neighbourhood rather than worrying about catching the bus.
