Sites R25 and R26 should be removed from the LDO. In accordance with 'local needs' some smaller homes could be allowed which would give existing residents the choice to "downsize", redeeming their (?) home.

Development of the proposed site has not been proven to be what is required in the village. Development by neighbouring authorities (e.g. Epping DC) have not been considered. Brownfield sites within BBC's authority have not been considered over Green field sites. Adjacent authorities have not been consulted. A 30 odd house development is already being built and other proposed sites e.g. Woollard Lane are "permission pending". The proposed development of 90 plus houses is far too many for the existing infrastructure, particularly Red Rose Lane for traffic 'and often local roads, doctors surgery is barely able to cope with the existing numbers and new classrooms would be needed in the local primary school. As Princess Ann supported a few years ago, if every village was about to build 4-5 houses, then local needs could be met and absorbed. BBC has not proposed this in other villages within its authority.
