There is no local housing need survey for Blackmore, there is no clear strategy for villages and has not considered brownfield sites which should be prioritised over Green Belt sites, this is developer led and not thought through by BBC, ignored adjacent authority development, access via Red Rose lane is unsuitable, the number of homes will overwhelm village - school and GP. Parking already a problem and shops, cafes, pubs already insufficient. Extend the urban development to Brentwood town instead.
Planners should refer to the BVHA neighbourhood plan, which was propery compoased and states what the village and villagers need. Far too many of what might have been thought of as affordable, have been extended, modified to the maximum and are no longer affordable. There are very few properties left in Blackmore of a smaller, single storey bungalow type. The sites R25 and R26 should be taken out of the LDP for the reasons give.
