I support the Parish Council's standpoint of protecting the Green Belt, Conservation Areas and incorporating the Village Design Statement into the LDP.

I cannot support building a development of 130 homes in Mountnessing on the site of the Ingatestone Garden Centre. This would go against the coalescence of the two villages and would put too much pressure on the infrastructure of Ingatestone - particularly sewerage, transport and medical facilities. A better site would be Thoby Priory.

I am also against the increasing trend of "back garden development" which we seem to be seeing in Ingatestone.
