Much of the development implied here will affect, and effectively coalesce Shenfield, Mountnessing & Ingatestone into one large Ribbon development with a further tentacle stretching out towards Margaretting (Chelmsford Rural), Exactly what the Green belt was designed to stop.
However there is at least one site ( At Thoby Priory) which is crying out for development. However it should be understood that there exists a requirement for major Infrastructure development within the ward; the 3 top requirements being: additional sewerage and an additional pond at the sewage works, Stock lane ( as indicated by Anglian Water); The complete lack of any Medical facilities within the Mountnessing area and one overloaded Doctor's Surgery in Ingatestone;A requirement for additional Infant/Junior School facilities. Currently Both Ingatestone Schools are full and that at Mountnessing has 4 places spare. These facilities should be provided by way of S106 / CIL agreements with the developers and built alongside the development.
