Increasing the amount of dwellings should be considered for a plot this size. impact of traffic also to be considered.

Putting an additional 125 homes at this location will have a detrimental effect on the character of the local area. Brentwood is a town made up of villages and by building this volume of new housing in this location will urbanise the area and completely change its character. The proposed area is currently a large green space adjacent to a narrow lane. Therefore, it will have a negative visual impact on the landscape as instead of looking at a large green space all you will see is a large development of housing. By adding 125 homes in this location will increase traffic generation as there will be a minimum of 125 additional cars using Nags Head Lane and the surrounding roads. Not only will the traffic increase on Nags Head Lane, changing it from a quiet road to a busy through road, there will also be a negative impact on noise and disturbance resulting from increased use. On a separate note Nags Head Lane is a narrow country lane which ultimately would not be able to cope with an increase in traffic volume as it is not a main road and consequently not designed to cater for high levels of traffic flow therefore putting highway safety at risk. Traffic will also increase on Brook Street the main route into Brentwood from the A12 and M25 which is already a busy and noisy main road. By adding 125 houses near Brook Street will increase the traffic volumes using the road therefore increasing noise and traffic volume which will ultimately reduce highway safety. Already if there are problems with the A12, M25 or the Brook Street roundabout the road comes to a standstill. Putting an additional 125 cars minimum onto an already congested road will result in chaos and ultimate grid lock. This is clearly the wrong location to put 125 new homes and I trust that with closer inspection you will come to see this and seek an alternative location.

Nags Head Lane is already used as a cut through from Upminster to Brentwood and is notably busy with people speeding when there is trouble on the M25. It is a narrow Lane going under a low railway bridge on a bend where there have been several serious accidents. Building ,more houses here is going to make those problems worse. When the road is shut due to accidents or repairs or delays down to Brook Street its a 5 mile round trip for residents to get home via other routes. A building site at the end of the road exiting into Brook Street will cause traffic chaos whilst the site is being built and will continue once there are multiple residents of new houses exiting onto the Lane. Dunton would be a better location for these additional houses. There is no bus that serves the road and there should be one from the between Harold Wood Station and Brentwood Town centre.so people aren't dependent on using their cars

Good access to main road with minimal disruption.

Highways & Transportation Comment -
Development on this site will need to contribute to a pool of funding to provide an enhanced level of bus service to serve the 125 homes planned. It will also be important to ensure that the design layout of the site facilitates sustainable access, ideally with bus gates or other interventions designed to maximise such access whilst giving these modes a journey time advantage.

I oppose the planning on Nags Head Lane, Brentwood, Essex.

As a Brook Road homeowner for over 20 years, I strongly object to a number of the planning "options" submitted and have itemised above those that are most unacceptable to me.

Brentwood is regularly grid-locked, particularly during rush hour, and always at weekends because of our growing population, the town's popularity as a celebrity haunt and the close proximity to the M25, which is regularly closed with traffic being diverted through the High Street.

The small residential roads are often used as cut-throughs, and speed limits and general safety ignored by road users - Brook Road is a prime example being adjacent to London Road.

Regarding Honeypot Lane - the location is only accessible by existing residential areas with restricted arteries to the town (Weald Road including width restriction). Trying to turn right from Weald Road onto London Road is already a lengthy and dangerous turn.

To remove parking spaces when it is already difficult to park around the town is short-sighted.

To consider building most or all the required housing on one site (Honeypot Lane and Ford, Warley) will lead to even greater bottlenecks in one part of the town.

The charm of Brentwood is that, despite it being a busy town, within a few minutes (traffic permitting!), you can be driving past allotments, beehives (far end of Honeypot Lane) and the country park.

South Weald is a small hamlet, which does not have the infrastructure of roads or school places to cope with 200 homes being built a mile down the road.

Brentwood doesn't have the infrastructure either.

Site reference 032: Land east of Nags Head Lane, Brentwood I object most strongly to the land being used for housing. It would have a detrimental affect on the area regarding noise and traffic. The local infrastructure, country lanes and services would never cope with the demand. My living standards in a peaceful green field area would be in crouched upon with the building work and housing. I object most strongly we need to preserve green field sites not build on them. This would have an impact on wildlife and nature.

022 - HoneyPot Lane:
* HoneyPot Lane is too narrow a road to accommodate additional traffic and frequently queues onto London Road in the morning and afternoon around school pick up time
* If housing is built on the site, additional primary school spaces need to be provided at St Peters (although there are restrictions with building at the school), at another school or a new school needs to be built as Holly Trees will also be placed under additional pressure
* Pavement access to the site to the High Street/Train Station would need to be substantially improved as it is poor
* If developed, site should have a substantial green barrier with the A12 for noise and air pollution control for residents

032 - Nags Head Lane:
* If housing is built on the site, additional primary school spaces need to be provided at St Peters (although there are restrictions with building at the school), at another school or a new school needs to be built as Holly Trees will also be placed under additional pressure
* Pavement access to the site to the High Street/Train Station would need to be substantially improved as it is poor
* If developed, site should have a substantial green barrier with the London Road for noise and air pollution control for residents

Crest Nicholson Eastern (CNE) support the Plan in principle and in particular the allocation of site 032, Land east of Nags Head Lane, Brentwood (hereafter referred to as "the site"). However, CNE object to the quantum of development suggested - 125 dwellings. This represents a reduction of 25 dwellings from the previous iteration of the Plan. The justification for this reduction is contained in BBC's Sustainability Appraisal and simply states "The proposal to reduce the number of homes delivered at Land east of Nags Head Lane is supported, given proximity to several listed buildings at Brook Street". However, BBC has not prepared any evidence regarding the relationship of the site with any listed buildings to justify this arbitrary 25 unit reduction. Under the heading "site constraints" in the allocation summary table on page 76 it states "Impact on nearby Listed Building will need to be considered". In response, a Built Heritage Assessment has been prepared by CgMs Heritage on behalf of CNE and forms part of this representation submission. It assesses the impact of a circa 150 unit scheme and concludes: The Site does not include any statutorily or locally listed buildings. Also, it does not lie within a conservation area. However, the Grade II listed Nag's Head Inn stands in close proximity to the Site. In accordance with Paragraph 128 of the NPPF, this assessment has assessed the significance of this listed building, including setting contribution. It has also assessed the impact of the development proposals on this significance. The development proposals are considered to cause a minor level of less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed Nag's Head Inn. In accordance with Paragraph 134 of the NPPF, this level of harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the scheme, including the provision of affordable housing to meet the needs of the borough. The development proposals are therefore considered to be in accordance with the policies of the NPPF, Policy C16 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan, and Policies 9.1 and 9.5 of the Brentwood Draft Local Plan. CNE therefore request that the previous allocation for approximately 150 dwellings be reinstated. This represents a low density of 25.5 dwellings per hectare and allows for a landscape-led scheme providing a mix of private and affordable house types for local families, first time buyers and those wanting to downsize. Detailed design and technical work undertaken to-date demonstrates that a high quality, Essex Design Guide compliant scheme of 150 units can be delivered. CNE also request that the suggested delivery forecast of 5-10 years be amended to 1-5 years. Crest Nicholson has been building new homes for over 50 years and is a market leader in the planning, design and construction of high quality, community-led residential schemes. Crest are proud to have been awarded national 'Housebuilder of the Year' twice in the last three years alongside a collection of industry excellence awards. They have achieved more CABE Building for Life Gold Awards than any other housebuilder which reflects their approach to high quality design and the creation of sustainable communities. CNE are based on Brook Street opposite the site and can deliver the proposals within three to four years of Local Plan adoption (an average of 50 units per year after obtaining detailed planning consent).
