Q1: Yes - Many areas are not properly finalised. See P6 of the consultation document where much information is stated as being "forthcoming". Therefore proper comment cannot be made on these at this stage.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - Dunton Garden Suburb should be supported to relieve housing pressure on Brentwood. Therefore site close to the A127 seem appropriate to be chosen for development.

Q4: 037A, 037B, 037C, 020, 021 and 200.

Q5: Yes - Providing proper and adequate access to the A12 is made. Otherwise Brentwood town centre will become more crowded.

Q6: No.

Q7: Yes - The highway network needs to be improved and properly maintained. This applies particularly to the rural roads which are currently breaking up at the edges because of big homes..

Q8: Yes.

Q12: Yes - The roads in the area in which I live are inadequate and would be more so with further development, maintenance is very poor on rural roads with edges breaking down and frequent pot holes. These matters should be resolved before more development.

Q13: Roads - upgrading and maintenance.
Drainage - both surface water and sewage disposal.

Q1: Yes - Option 4 best. Growth everywhere but the opportunity to do something special in Dunton Garden Suburb - environmentally friendly, using existing transport links, renewable energy?

Q2: Yes.
1. North restricted by landscape and road links. Brownfield development of housing where possible and increased primary education.
2. A12 corridor - Improved road (perhaps spur to Brentwood centre and greater retail/ leisure provision there. Thus reduce congestion in Shenfield/Brentwood. Brown sites utilised for housing wherever possible.
3. A127 exciting opportunity to build new homes using latest technology.

Q3: Yes - A127 excellent chance to build sustainable housing for families with own schools, surgeries, retail, leisure facilities. Creation of new jobs. One off opportunity to create 21st century town - ecologically friendly etc.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb - Rail and road links there, working in conjunction with Basildon would give greater scope flexibility. Chance to build good affordable housing which can offer future income to the Councils.

Q5: Yes - Seems this is the only viable option to fulfil housing need. As greater capacity than can be provided by brownfield sites within the urban areas is needed best to use sites on the edge rather encroach on open land. Prefer to keep Green Belt between Havering and Brentwood.

Q6: Villages should be allowed to grow as need occurs and subject to schools/surgeries etc being capable of dealing with extra population. Smaller developments or infills preferred.

Q7: Yes - Proposed Brentwood Enterprise Park good idea as could provide employment for Dunton Garden Suburb if carefully planned. Feasibility studies as to the nature of units required and size essential so no white elephant created.

Q8: Yes - Most difficult decision as shopping habits are still changing with so much internet purchasing. Mix of housing and retail good. Baytree Centre and Multi-Story car park could be imaginatively developed for a big store, leaving William Hunter Way for housing. Cinema at Brentwood Centre where ample parking. Corner of High Street/Western Road possible roundabout to alleviate congestion. One way system High Street/ William Hunter Way?

Q9: Yes - Area opposite proposed Officers Meadows development and/or between Merrymeade House and Hall Lane running behind County Ground and Brentwood School grounds.

Q12: Yes - If infrastructure is considered alongside development then Shenfield is well placed to cope with the envisaged growth.

Q13: Transport - with Crossrail need to ensure that traffic can bypass Shenfield unless to park to us rail/amenities. Park and Ride good idea. Healthcare and education to cover Officers Meadows development if goes ahead. Community facilities and green infrastructure.

Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - The joint venture with Basildon will hopefully alleviate the need to allow inappropriate developments in other parts of the Borough and is my main reason for supporting this particular approach.

Q4: A127 corridor.

Q5: Yes.

Q6: No - Brownfield sites should be identified and used rather than Green Belt.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes - But making sure we have the parking capacity to cope with any development.

Q12: No.

Q13: If the Dunton Garden Suburb scheme is adopted then a BR Station plus significant improvements to the A127.

See attached.

Q1: Yes and No. Growth is essential to life. However, how do we grow? The value of a new garden city is appealing providing this growth is maintained in an orderly way. The growth of villages is not desirable. The infrastructure is not there for growth.
B) A real need for better traffic systems. The trouble is with the M25 it will become full and then where do we go?
C) Agree but road problems like above.

Q2: Yes and No.
A) North of the Borough comment 2.14 agree, comment 2.15 disagree.
B) Broadly agree.
C) Broadly agree.

Q3: The village garden site at Dunton should be the preferred option. As stated enlarging villages causes problems re social, education, roads and then village life becomes town life. Sure there is no difference between the village and town.

Q4: The Dunton site.

Q5: Yes - The A12 is an obvious growth area alongside the corridor. The trouble is again are of infrastructure and urban creep. The A12 is a very busy road. Unless planned well it will become even busier and disrupt the economic well being of the region.

Q6: The green and beautiful land will become not Jerusalem but that of the film 'Blade Runner'. We have a duty to protect it therefore Brownfield sites are the preferred option. Once you take Greenfield sites the next step is to take the next but if greenfield next to the site just developed.

Q7: Yes - Businesses need to access transport links quickly. Locating these near Strategic highway networks is sensible providing safeguards are taken in order to reduce the impact it has on the surrounding areas and general environment.

Q8: Yes - Brentwood needs a 'honeypot'. A store that will encourage people to come. At the same time the individual businesses must be safe and ordered. Parking prices are unjustifiable. In Hornchurch they charge 20p for 2 hours. Make the price somewhere for people to come and enjoy the experience.

Q9: No - After nearly 20 years of living in this village it is noticeable the increase in traffic and the noise that has come with the years. The thought of these two ingredients increasing due to 'more open space provision is numbing. People live in such areas to get away from less open space environment. So why should we have to provide more 'open space provision'. Use brownfield sites!

Q12: Increasing the size of a village by say 40 homes brings a major problem to the infrastructure, education and environment. Litter around the village is not fine. This will increase. Noise will increase. Unsocial behaviour may well develop. Flooding could increase due to the concreting of fields.

Q13: In this area, the roads are bad, potholes come and don't go! Alleviate the areas that flood. Over the past couple of years the flood planes in the roach flood. I hate to think what it will be like when fields disappear. Where will the water go? Provision for infrastructure should be roads and flood alleviation.

Q1: Yes and No - Some.

Q2: Yes and No - Some.

Q3: Yes - Land west of Laindon, Basildon and East of West Horndon does not infringe on residential properties and has easy access to London.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb.

Q5: No - No room for improved services. No easy access.

Q6: No - Villages already at maximum. Doctors surgery unable to take more patients. Schools at full capacity.

Q7: No - Any employment requires a good transport system both from and to Brentwood not really in existence yet.

Q8: Yes - Majority of local empty shops are owned by out-of-town landlords - rents are too high! Further scope exists within the town for retail development.

Q9: No - Any further development in any of the villages would completely spoil the nature of a "village" only one plot of land available in Hook End - Land at Outings Lane.

Q1: Yes. Accept there is a need for growth but not to alter existing small community villages.

Q12: Yes. The fact that you are completely changing a small village whose facilities are appropriate to its residents.

Q13: Developing small new communities near t main road access not changing existing small areas.

Q1: Yes - They have different aspects, so yes.

Q2: No - Flooding is a problem on the A127 corridor. The A127 is busier than the A12 and the A12 has more potential for development. The open farmland of the A127 is not inferior to that elsewhere in the borough, how has this conclusion been reached?

Q3: Yes - 037 A, B and C and 126 are all Green Belt surrounding the village. If the industrial estates are developed, the 400+ houses proposed there will increase West Horndon by 70%. To build on the surrounding Green Belt as well would be inappropriate development and damaging to the local environment. Flooding would also be a major issue.

Q4: Site 200 - Dunton Garden Suburb should be developed in preference to the fields surrounding West Horndon (037, 038 & 126). Infrastructure must be established, and a buffer zone around West Horndon should be put in place to preserve the village.

Q5: Yes - As Brentwood needs so many houses, all suitable sites along the A12 should be considered. Why should it be centred around West Horndon and the A127?

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be considered in preference to Greenfield. Green Belt should be preserved.

Q7: Yes - From an environmental view as well as the practical view, this makes sense, although public transport must be provided.

Q8: Yes - Good public transport links are essential to ensure economic sustainability in the established town centres. Ease of car park facilities should also be a priority.

Q9: Yes - We have a small park at present. With the likely development of the new industrial sites and the potential development of DSG, more open space will be required for the village, certainly not less.

Q12: Yes - The A128 will be heavily impacted by any development and this should also be considered for upgrading.

Q13: My priorities would be transport, health and education, which should be in place before the developments need them!
Other comments: Dunton Garden Suburb is my preferred option.

Q1: Yes - It seems very comprehensive.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - I think the Dunton Village is appropriate together with planned development shown on pages 192 to 197. I agree that the development of any existing village housing is to be in small packages (no more than 10).

Q4: Dunton Village.

Q5: Yes.

Q6: No I don't think its appropriate in anything other than small packages (no more than 10). In Blackmore any development as proposed by 2 applicants for anything up to 90 + 60 residents is ridiculously excessive.

Q12: I strongly believe that owners of unoccupied residents should be heavily penalized, and if when left empty for a long time (? 12 months) without occupation they should be compulsory purchased. If this were done it would go well toward the housing needs up to 2030. Make selfish house owners pay!! Or let or sell their property.

Q13: See above.

Q1: Yes.

Q2: No. Road and infrastructure issues. The A127 is a bottleneck already.

Q3: Yes. Use brownfield sites.

Q4: Site 200 [entire land east of A128, south of A127]

Q5: Yes.

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be considered firstly.

Q7: Yes. But control the sites with villagers input.

Q8: Yes, but with control and input from village representatives.

Q12: Yes. You should really consider what the next/younger generation want.

Q13: Be open and fully transparent in all your undertakings and be diplomatic.

Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes - The road and rail infrastructure not able to take any more.

Q3: Yes - Site 200 Dunton Garden Suburb would be my choice giving the buffer of land to maintain West Horndon as a village as we would like. This is why we moved here not to be a town!

Q4: Again site 200 due to new infrastructure being laid down as a new site and not making do with already crowded roads around and in West Horndon.

Q5: Yes - The A12 should have the ability to meet and help on this any suitable site should also be looked at rather than all in just one location which overpopulates.

Q6: Brownfield site should always be put ahead of Green Belt. This was done originally to protect our countryside and what live in it. I think this has been forgotten.

Q7: Yes - We do not want the existing site changed to housing but agree that any working /employment needs to be on public transport links.

Q8: Yes - We need our own shops but are happy with existing we need to make sure that our local shops stay "alive" and build these up primary.

Q9: Yes - This would be good if the Dunton Garden Suburb goes ahead as this will give access to Thorndon Park. Not so if West Horndon is developed.

Q12: Yes - Many and what if anything West Horndon can take. We are really only two roads!

Q13: Top priority otherwise you will grid lock on area which is already bursting! Hospitals, Drs and schools need to be in with these not just transport links. These are main reasons for concern. We do feel that West Horndon is treated like the poor side of Brentwood and you would rather spoil our area than any other more lucrative points on the A12 side of the Borough.

Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - Dunton site and others along A127 are the most suitable as they have good transport links and are currently underdeveloped. West Horndon has both rail and road connections.

Q4: Dunton Garden village A127. West Horndon A127 and rail links both relatively underdeveloped.

Q5: No - No! This area is already heavily developed. Green Belt fringes are essential for open space and the well being of all residents in this area. Green Belt here has beauty and is environmentally essential, for wildlife and residents.

Q6: No - Brownfield sites offer the best opportunities. None of the negativities of greenfield developments.

Q7: No - Not necessarily - Anywhere with road access or rail access.

Q8: No - Parking is an issue in Brentwood. Out of town shopping centres are preferred by shoppers where parking is free, i.e. Pipps Hill, Mayflower, Chelmer village - all out of the borough. Brentwood should aim to compete.

Because of my very long association with Hutton Preservation Society I have been asked by its secretary (there is no chairman at present) to give our views on this subject.

As longtime members of CPRE and the Metropolitan Green Belt we have fought strenuously over the years to keep this area of Hutton, with its conservation village, without undue building. We do recognise, however, the difficulties the Borough is under, we really have considered the matter impartially.

If Brentwood and Basildon can come to proper agreement, of the three difficult categories this Society feels that of the Dunton Garden Suburb must be the best. It presents so much the better facilities, despite the sad reduction in the Green Belt. There would be opportunity for a sustainable community. In our area we cannot see this happening without drastic change.

1) What prospect has ECC for upgrading the A129 say in the next decade? At times it is infinitely overcrowded, flooded in this area in three places and a source of several accidents. It cannot support heavy construction lorries and nor can the surrounding country lanes. Which are already suffering hugely? A dual carriageway?

2) Much of the suggested farmland has received from DEFRA considerable tax payers money in the form of single farm payments. This could be substantial consideration. It is by no means a huge brownfield site.

3) Like, sadly much of the borough, we have many historical associations, Roman coins, Saxon broaches, Tudor brick kiln and so on are all found along Church Lane, a very early settlement. It is a constant joy to its many walker as this Society has frequently been told. It has poor communal facilities however, no GPs, no immediate state schools, no late evening buses, no easy train service. Transport would need total revision (in this of course I refer only to the Hutton Preservation area). Also this too, this committee felt would apply to the scrubland and scenic villages of your third option, the most difficult and complex of them all.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take part in the consultation. We have always been grateful to the Council for helping us to uphold the Green Belt over the years.

Consultation Questionnaire:

Q1: Yes - In a difficult situation they are the best choice.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Sadly ECC will have a restricted budget for many years. Can we manage transport difficulties to heavy materials needed for growth without maximum disturbance?

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb.

Q5: Yes - I think needs must, but with care and reluctance.

Q6: Most definitely brownfield sites, even within the Green Belt.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes - With reservation and common sense.

Q9: No - We are very fortunate and have open space and it is much used.

Q12: Yes - This seems to me to be an exceedingly comprehensive review of a very complex subject. Most of us dislike change but the population pressures on this area and political influence have forced it on us.

Q13: Alas, road structure in my corridor at least coupled with transport in general of which Crossrail is going to be a future unknown entity, both good and bad. And health facilities of all kinds are already a problem with an already exploding population.

Q1: Yes. I understand the need for growth, but any considered areas must take local resident views into account. Infrastructure must be one of the most important points, and what impact will development bring.

Q2: Yes. Any Local Plan must take all aspects into account with all residents views taken into account to have a good outcome.

Q3: Yes. When reading the consultations regarding the Brentwood Strategic Growth Options, it would appear to me that the most suitable options would be the Dunton Garden Suburb as the existing travel links are already in place.

Q4: As stated above [see Rep ID 11719] Dunton Garden Suburb would be most suitable. Very good travel links, which would help travel.

Q5: Yes. Only after all other options have been considered.

Q6: Brownfield sites would be better.

Q7: Yes. That's why Dunton Garden is a good plan.

Q8: Yes. The Town Centre should remain sustainable and improvements made.

Q9: No. Other than farmland there is not much open space left, that would be suitable.
