We object to the development on Plot 143 Land East of peartree lane & North of peartree close.

The shear weight of traffic will all travel through Peartree Lane as Lime Grove is much nearer & is already congested & troublesome to travel through on a daily basis.
I noticed,particularly in the last five years a deterioration in the fabric of our countryside.
Cuts in services everywhere, even to the extent of disposing of essential services such as vermin control.
We are witnessing the destruction of our countryside by Politicians and Councillors who ignore the views of the people they are supposed to serve. How many accidents have been caused by turning street lights off, it may not be what central and local Politicians want to hear but there has been an increase in the number of suicides due to Government and Local Authority policies. If you want to rely on consultants and advisers,recents reports to Government have warned against development or buildings on main roads ,because of pollution levels,particularly affected are children and the elderly and of course adults with underlying conditions........in fact most citizens!.

Green belt land, as far as I am concerned is sacrosanct, and I want my grandchildren to be able to enjoy the open countryside, as I have been able to. My property will be available to them when I and my wife die, and they can then take the walks that I enjoy today, in green belt land. It matters not what the land was like when my property was built, it was in the 1950's and the rules that were in place then, applied.

In addition I was told by a Brentwood Cllr that there is Brownfield sites available in Brentwood for 2500-3000 homes! Basildon Council has Brownfield sites for 6000 homes so we must ask ourselves the question if this Dunton Suburb is needed or fair.

Tracey ~ isn't Brownfield an alternative solution? Basildon could accommodate 6000 homes on brownfield & Brentwood 3000 - this was told to me by a Brentwood Cllr! I am very concerned that the children & grandchildren you mention will know no green... and the Urban sprawl will engulf us - as Government expand the London boundary. There has been some Echo coverage - but were you aware this plan has been around for a year? I certainly was not and I live a mile from the proposed boundary. The residents of the semi-rural villages have made a choice to live in those particular surroundings and all it brings to them. With respect, would you want someone to pitch a tent in your garden because they could?

Brownfield sites more preferable for development: Fords at Dagenham, West Thurrock generally where industries have ceased, Fords at South Ockendon, Aveley Bypass. Vast acreage, all in Essex.

I attended the public meeting when two Council representatives came to Herongate to answer questions.
The questions I asked were:-
additional Rail and Bus provision......no plan!
Where will the Hospital be?.......what Hospital.?..
okay ;Clinic then,?......what Clinic.?...
okay Doctor's surgery.?...what surgery?
Police Station?...what Police Station?..
Schools?...what schools
Fire Station?.......doh!
They could not answer any questions on infrastructure.

Common sense will tell you all these services will be essential,but for the civil servants who have produced this plan the only certainty is the devastating development will include accommodation for travellers.....
