I consider the main modification document to be unsound. The allocations of R25 and R26 to build houses will have a significant negative impact to Blackmore village and are as listed below:
- The are that R25 and R26 are situated gets heavily flooded, there have been a number of vehicles that have been caught out and left stranded due to the heavy rainfall that comes from the fields and runs into the road. Building houses here will just make this matter worse.
- Our little village is already heaving with traffic from passers by and builders and people visiting that this will cause even more disruption, air pollution and more dangerous to walk around the village for walkers and dog walkers.
- Our school and doctors surgery is already under pressure with dealing with current patients. Our small primary school is often not taking new pupils as already too many from other villages attend the school. Parking for the school is already heavily congested with parents looking down roads to drop children off to school.
- The houses on R25 and R26 is Green Belt land which would destroy the nature and biodiversity of the area. If these houses are built it will be a great devastation to our village, wildlife and visitors to enjoy this unique village in Essex.
