Object to further encroachment into green-belt, protected and rural landscape at Codham Hall north & south of A127, particularly north and Childerditch Industrial Estate. This area has been developed regardless of green-belt policies. The unlawful development has been going on for around 15 years and should be stopped in its tracks. I have grave concerns that fields are increasingly being encroached on for increasing array of businesses and that Planning enforcement has been non-existent here. This is green-belt land and should be protected. The site maps show a far bigger area will be implicated than already is.
101B Codham Hall farm north of A127
I object in the strongest possible terms to any further development at Codham Hall Farm, north of the A127, to the west or the east of what's currently there. This area has been developed regardless of green-belt policies, invisible from any direction apart from above through Google maps (satellite) The unlawful development has been going on for around 15 years and should be stopped in its tracks. I have grave concerns that fields are increasingly being encroached on for increasing array of businesses and that Planning enforcement has been non-existent here. This is green-belt land and should be protected. The site maps show a far bigger area will be implicated than already is, which I totally oppose.
112D Childerditch Industrial Site
Residents of Little Warley Hall Lane have, in the past, suffered from noise generated by the Childerditch Industrial Estate from early in the morning until 6.00pm six days a week. The proposal to extend to the north-west further towards those houses, is a step too far. This is greenbelt land and should remain as a buffer between the homes in Little Warley Hall Lane and the rest of the industrial site. As a Councillor I've supported residents battling with the threats of increased noise and light pollution at this site and am therefore opposed to further development.
101A Codham Hall south of A127.
This is green-belt land and forms one of the gateways to Brentwood though a rural landscape so I'm basically opposed to this as local Ward Councillor. Although, I recognise the need for further business sites as explained by Planners, I question the logic of this as increasingly business is conducted on-line and there are various sites with long-term vacant offices in Warley (Regis, Warley Business Park, Old Pump Works)
If there is to be development here then, as repeatedly requested, the buildings should be of very high specification, low-rise, screened by trees and have as low an impact on the rural nature of this area as possible. This is green-belt land and should have been returned to that status once Highways England finished using it, as originally agreed so there MUST be consideration & mitigation of the effect of grabbing yet another chunk of green-belt for business sprawl.

Respondent: Essex Bridleways Association
Brentwood Enterprise Park (Policies 101A and 101B) - we request that this park is planned appropriately so that the existing bridleway network in this vicinity is protected; the current enforcement issues with regard to the bridleways in this area are regularised, and a safe crossing of both the M25 and A127 is provided as part of this development, linking the bridleway networks either side of the M25.
Policy 6.6 - Strategic Sites
Dunton Hills Garden Village - we note that the Council wishes to establish green links from this new development to the rest of Brentwood Borough. We request therefore that these green links are accessible to all - pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians - rather than just pedestrians and cyclists.
Brentwood Enterprise Park (Policies 101A and 101B) - we note the proposal to regularise and expand the employment-led development at the junction of the M25/A127 and request that this park is planned appropriately so that the existing bridleway network in this vicinity is protected; the current enforcement issues with regard to the bridleways in this area are regularised, and a safe crossing of both the M25 and A127 is provided as part of this development, linking the bridleway networks either side of the M25.

The proposed development at Dunton Hills Garden Village would overwhelm the village of Dunton Waylett. If Policy H10/E7 proposed by Basildon Council were also implemented, these will bridge the gap between Basildon and West Horndon. Brentwood Enterprise park would effectively bridge the gap between West Horndon and the M25. The circle of open land would thus be broken. Removing so much land from the Green Belt would be unlawful.

The area of land proposed for allocation however is considered to be incorrect and does not reflect either the areas previously proposed for allocation, the previous representations made on behalf of S&J Padfield and Partners or the area of existing employment use on site.
The revised area totals approximately 9.2 ha.

The allocated area should be amended and extended to include the area of existing use, totalling approximately 9.2 ha to ensure there is no loss of employment land. In order to deliver a net increase in employment provision as requested by the NPPF and set out in the Council's Economic Futures Study it is especially important that the current extent of employment use at Codham Hall North is formally allocated for employment purposes.

The site supports good accessibility from the wider area by car due to its proximity to the M25 and A127. There is also a potential for the site to be accessed using proposed green transport links such as the Green Transport Route detailed in policy 10.1 of the Brentwood Draft Local Plan, further boosting the green credentials of the site.

The uses at Codham Hall are existing uses and appear to have been treated as such within the Highway Modelling. This is support given that the formal allocation will allow the existing use to continue and will therefore not result in significant numbers of potential new trips as is the case with those sites newly allocated for employment.
It is in our view correct that the highway modelling focuses on these sites. We would, however, continue to emphasise the need for any future highway proposals to continue to allow the successful operation of the site at Codham Hall in order to support the businesses and employment opportunities provided on site.

Support the allocation of existing employment uses at Codham Hall. Suggest that the allocation at Codham North (101B) is set out elsewhere within the plan such as within Policy 8.4 and Figure 8.3. This would allow Strategic Policy 8.2 to focus exclusively on the larger new employment site to the south of the A127 (101A).
