Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 7572

Received: 16/03/2015

Respondent: Mrs Marion Jago

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to any green belt in Brentwood being used for house building . This must be protected at all costs as will be a precident for more use and once it's gone it will be lost to this generation and all coming generations. Ingrave and Herongate are beautiful villages and should remain so and not become suburbs of Brentwood which will spread all the way down to the A127. The A128 is a very busy road into and out of Brentwood and struggles to cope with traffic even now especially at rush hour and school time sand will become gridlocked if even more houses are built. Our health system is struggling now and more doctors, hospitals and schools will be needed if our numbers increase. Wildlife too will be threatened by increased development and infrastructure needed to support it.
I understand that it is illegal to build on green belt land unless Brentwood Council agrees but Ingrave and Herongate villagers at a recent meeting voted unanimously to reject proposals to build on green belt and will fight to keep our villages and environment.
