The addition of housing on this scale will increase the population, overcrowding, congestion and traffic hazards putting a strain on infrastructure which has remained unchanged for many years. New housing developments are surrounding Blackmore which have not been included in the LDP. This site is greenbelt and should be excluded as there are brownfield sites available. The area is subject to serious flooding and access is narrow and dangerous. There would also be adverse affects to the natural environment and nature of the village. Purely developer-led, this site was excluded from the LDP in 2016 and should be excluded again.
This site should be removed from the LDP and the village plan implemented which makes use of available brownfield sites and meets village requirements not those of developers. Brownfield sites already offered should be used and more investigation into including other brownfield opportunities undertaken (e.g.Stondon Massey where development is actively encouraged).
