Blackmore is a small remote village, with poor lane and road connections. Railway stations at Shenfield and Ingatestone only accessible by very narrow lanes from horse and cart days with no bus service to those main line stations. The bus service to Brentwood Station runs twice in the mornings at 0640 and 0750 and twice in the evenings to Blackmore at 1735 and 1835 thus not suitable for travel to and from work in London. So cars are essential for all aspects of village life more houses means more cars/pollution and congestion which is now very bad in the mornings and evenings especially in the village centre. This housing policy is contrary to BBCs strategic objectives and the Government's aims for reducing unnecessary journeys. Bus to doctors. Losing the two large fields to houses means lists of wildlife habitat which includes some birds on the red species list.
