Re-submission of 2017 petition:
We the undersigned strongly believe that the building of an additional 130 houses off Priests Lane will create not only a strain on an infrastructure which is at capacity but also wholly unacceptable levels of traffic in the area, resulting in even more accidents, congestion and pollution to an already overloaded and unsafe road network.
(Submitted acknowledging the reduction in housing numbers and confirming the objection remains).

Brownfield site allocations: 311 Eagle & Child: This pub occupies a large site but in itself is not an attractive pub. There is another historic one nearby and too numerous food and alcohol outlets in the Shenfield Broadway area. 140 Chatham/Crown Street, 039 Westbury Road, 102 Hunter Avenue and 001 Brentwood Station car Parks: With an increased population envisaged and the demand for parking the redevelopment of these sites and elsewhere must be planned with these factors given priority. Greenfield land within Settlement Boundaries: 044 and 178 land at Priests lane. Development of this land is unavoidable if housing targets are to be met. 178 must take into account all the possible needs of Endeavour and Hogarth Schools. 044 Planned exit and a one through Bishop Walk are essential to spread the traffic load. Communication with St. Andrews Place must be avoided due to its bad sightline at its junction with Priests lane. A12 Corridor - urban Extensions: 022 Honeypot Lane. Excessive dense development to the boundary with the A12 should be avoided. the watercourse could be an attractive advantage to an attractive design. 263 east of Chelmsford Road. This is acceptable as it does not visibly affect views of Shenield housing, including from A1023. However it is essential that the BP garage with food outlet is included in the planning as currently traffic queing back onto the A1023 is a major road safety danger. 276, 034, 235 and 087 Officer's Meadow Area. Redevelopment of this area must be avoided since it forms an open "lung" in Shenfield which otherwise would become part of a brentwood/Shenfield conurbation as well as overloading the facilities in Shenfield. With good drainage a park and playing fields, which Shenfield lacks on any scale, should be considered. part of 034 could be joined with 263 satisfactorily. 037 is only a possibility for housing if this would not prejudice any future plans of Shenfield High School. 158 North of A1023 North of Shenfield. Redevelopment here is unsatisfactory for the same reasons as 276/235 above, again avoiding an overall Brentwood/Shenfield conurbation and housing up to the A1023 is undesirable as for 022 above. Dunton Hills garden Village. 200 This is essential to take main volume of the housing required. It must be well planned, with its own infrastructure and to help other area's local facilities being overwhelmed. General Comment. The above represents my comments on individual sites as a 70 year plus lifetime local residents. For those not mentioned I accept the site preference or for the larger Village sites I do not have enough local knowledge to comment. The sites in Ingatestone Village Service centre do not seem unreasonable.

I object to the inclusion of sites 044 and 178. The Council leader has requested evidence be supplied to justify keeping these sites as Protected Open Urban Space. The residents have provided a great deal of evidence supporting our objections, and the Council has provided no rebuttal of this evidence. The Council leader has suggested that the Council must include the sites, or they risk being sued by the landowners, however I reject this assertion. The Regulations 19 submission provides a process by which developers (or residents) can make representations if they disagree with a decision over a site, without any need for litigation. The Council should make decisions based on what is right for the community, rather than abdicate responsibility by claiming that it is being strong-armed by the developers. These sites can only be accessed from Priest Lane, and the access points listed at (address). My previous objections explained why a new junction would be unsafe because it does not have the appropriate level of visibility for cars existing a junction, and the turning into a junction at this narrow point would be dangerous. The alternative of using Bishop Walk would also be very unsafe, as this road is very narrow (less than 5m) having been designed for a small cul-de-sac. Traffic truing in and out will cause problems especially when traffic queues past this point. Traffic volumes and peak-time congestion along Priest Lane will increase significantly as a result of the many other large developments in Shenfield and Brentwoon. The Council should be looking at the traffic consequences of the combined traffic effect of various development, especially as Priest Lane is a main distrributary route for traffic from Shenfield to the A128, and access to the employment hubs on the A127. I consider that this development will cause significant traffic and safety problems and development is inappropriate at these sites. The residents have genuine and significant concerns that Priests Lane is not designed to take the level of traffic that uses it, there are currently concerns about the lack of pavements, and the narrow pavements near these sites. Evidence has been provided to the Council of the safety problems of Priests Lane and the inadequacy of access at both access points. The Council has not provided sufficient traffic modelling at this point or show that the increased traffic from this site will not be detrimental to the safety of the local residents, nor provided evidence demonstrating that the site accesses are viable. The site is a greenfield site sandwiched between greenbelt land and forms part of a stretch of largely undeveloped land separating Brentwood and Shenfield. The Council states that it has an objective of protecting these separations, and so it does not make sense to develop this land.

Priests Lane is a greenfield site. There are already traffic flow issues in Priests Lane which is parts is very narrow and makes it dangerous when walking and pushing as traffic comes very close.
The additional pollution and noise would be intolerable.
I believe this will make Priests Lane an accident blackspot and as may children walk to the local schools along Priests Lane this is very concerning.

95 dwellings should not be built on this site for the following reasons
It is a greenfield site
Priests Lane is totally unsuitable access road and would be overwhelmed with extra traffic
The existing gate to the site situated on the bend if Priests Lane would be an accident blackspot
Priests lane is too narrow to cope with a huge increase in traffic
Additional vehicles will bring huge increase in pollution to Priests Lane environment

I disagree with the development of a protected open urban space. I do not think the site should be developed because there is already a lot of traffic along the road, which travels very close to pedestrians on the single pavement. There will be much more traffic with all the other developments, and the development will cause even more traffic problems and the new roads onto the sites are likely to be dangerous. Also, the town is losing too many green spaces, there are very few areas within the town. It is difficult to get to the county parks without a car, and the cost of parking is expensive for people like me with no car, and on low income (I am a student). We should be trying to keep the green spaces and playing fields, especially next to schools, and try to get more use for the community. Also, the Plan puts a lot of traffic into the town centre, but there is already too much traffic. The idea of new shops seems attractive, but Brentwood High Street is already struggling, so how will more shops make it better?

Land at Priest Lane, Shenfield: Site Access: How the main access onto Priests Lane would be achieved has not been explained, but it is clear that the present situation would require substantial change if safe access onto this dangerous road is to be secured. How Bishop Walk could be used as a secondary access has not been explained. This road is only just adequate as a service road for the six houses it provides access to, and is definitely unsuitable for additional through-traffic. Apart from the unsuitability of the road itself, the houses it serves are located close to the road, so any substantial increase in traffic volume would have a significant adverse environmental effect on local residents. Site Constraints: The Plan recognises the "Localised traffic impacts will require consideration", which presumably means examining the effect of additional traffic onto Priests Lane. The site is not served by public transport, which means there will be heavy reliance on car use from the additional 95 households. Priests Lane is a minor narrow road, not suited to predestine use, already dealing with a heavy traffic flow and suffering severe congestion at peak times. The proposed development will have a detrimental effect on an already unsatisfactory traffic situation. The current designation of this site as a Protected Urban Open Space should be observed. General: The additional population resulting from the extra 93 households will without doubt worsen an already stretched demand on local facilities of every kind.

Priests Lane is narrow in places and there is only a footpath on one side varying form left to right. Traffic is already dense in the rush hours and as it travels at some speed, it causes problems, already, to cross the road safely.
Although no entry or exit point has yet been designated, all traffic from this development will eventually discharge onto Priests land increasing the problem.

What ever point of access used the traffic will ultimately have to exit on to Priests Lane. It was designed to accommodate horse drawn traffic and it does not seem possible to widen it. Pavements are on one side only, changing sides twice. It is narrow and used by cyclists, endangering pedestrians. The roadway narrows and there is no white line at this point. It is a rat run and the speeding makes crossing particularly difficult for anyone with a disability to cross. The development will increase this traffic and will be problematic.

Support is given to Strategic Objective 1 (SO1) which seeks to maximise sustainable growth opportunities within the built-up areas and on brownfield sites. The Borough's built up areas are tightly constrained by Green Belt and all opportunities to meet housing and employment need within built up areas, and where possible, on brownfield land, should be considered and exploited before consideration is given to the release of green belt for new development. A key element of Sustainable Development is environmental role which contributes to protecting and enhancing our built, natural and historic environment through, inter alia, the use of natural resources prudently, minimising waste and pollution, and mitigating and adapting to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. The focus of SO2 in directing growth to the Boroughs transport corridors and urban areas in locations well served by existing and proposed local services and facilities is essential in achieving the environmental role of sustainable development, and is supported. This is also linked to the Transport & Movement Strategic Objectives SO21 and SO22 which seek to ensure development sites are well connected to the public transport network and are linked to the walking and cycling facilities across the Borough. Sites which are well located within identified urban areas and transport corridors, well served by public transport and accessible by foot or bike to services, facilities and employment opportunities should continue to be the primary focus in identifying sites for development. Support is given to SO19 which seeks to secure the delivery of essential infrastructure to support new development, in particular education and community facilities which cannot compete in value terms when seeking to secure land to create of expand provision.
Paragraph 72 makes reference to the potential for larger site options to integrate new C2 facilities, including at (d) Honey Pot Land / Priests Lane (small to medium 40 bed scheme). While this is a worthy aspiration, it should be acknowledged that the providers of such uses will have their own specific locational requirements which will determine whether such land is appropriate or attractive to that sector.
Support is given to the need to Special Education Needs and in particular the ability to ease the considerable physical capacity constraints of the Endeavour School, and the aspiration to provide a 6th form function. Support will be given by the landowner of Site Ref: 044 to the Council and the Endeavour School to masterplan the proposed housing site at Priest Lane to incorporate land set aside for use by the Endeavour School.
