Sirs,

I accept that with Brentwood being a district with a high proportion of Green Belt finding appropriate sites for development is a struggle.

However, it is the local planning authority's responsibility to retain the status of Green Belt and the change of status of these two parcels of land is contradictory to their responsibility to retain the status of Green Belt.

This development does not meet the requirements for an exception to Green Belt development being not a limited infilling and/or limited affordable housing for local community needs, an increase of 28.6% does not represent a limited infill.

Surely there are previously developed sites (brownfield land) which would not have such a dramatic impact on the village.

Why have sites such as the areas alongside the A12 along the Rayleigh Road not been considered in this respect?

The proposal of 4 sites within an established Green Belt area are an unequitable allocation of additional housing within the Blackmore parish when other villages in the area have no houses being proposed.

The proposed development in the area of the village of Blackmore at Orchard Piece and Woollard Way both with proposed access via Red Rose Lane is wholly inappropriate in my opinion for the following reasons.

The addition of approx. 100 homes to the village is not supported by a commensurate increase in the infrastructure.

We would require major upgrades to utilities systems such as foul water system, water supply, power, gas and communications

There is no GP surgery within the parish and the local health centre already struggles to service the needs of the community.

The local primary school in Blackmore is already full and the possibility of an increase in demand for this or other local schools may not be met within the local education system.

There is a limited bus service which will put additional pressures on the roads with commensurate pressure on local roads that are not equipped to deal with this level of traffic.

The expansion of the village will put pressure on local roads - the proposed access via Red Rose Lane is completely laughable and inappropriate - has no one even looked at this road which is barely wide enough for 2 vehicles let alone an additional regular daily increase of approximately 200 cars that will put unacceptable pressure on local traffic through the village and local countryside.

The development in Orchard Piece with access via Red Rose Lane is again an ill thought out proposal, this is again barely wide enough for 2 cars with no passing places for vehicles the additional traffic will cause damage to the road which already suffers from use by heavy vehicles which damage the verges and flooding occurs regularly due to the high water table with the run off from fields and the poorly kept ditches overflowing that results in abandoned vehicles.

In summary the degradation of the environment around Blackmore is an unacceptable burden on the residents of the village and the proposed development does not represent a well thought out option to meet housing needs.

Blackmore is a beautiful little village and it should not be converted into a town. There will be more traffic on the roads. There is only one little primary school and no secondary school here. This will cause big disruption to all the villagers for a long time as will take months to build. Therefore I object to this proposed building sites.

This proposal to increase the size of our village by 28.6%is a very unwelcome development, we currently have overloaded infrastructure particularly in Blackmore and need major upgrades to all utilities, the proposal will increase the pressures on all these services, particularly as flooding is still very prevalent in the village; transport-severe parking problems exist currently in the village centre.

There is no GP surgery within the Parish boundary and the nearest Health Centre is working to maximum capacity.

Our village school is at maximum and need rebuilding to accommodate modern requirements.

The proposal to remove the only playing field area around Tipps Cross Remembrance Hall would force our youngsters on to the busy roads and be detrimental to the community.

This is a Green Belt area, with building protection, designed to give residents fresh air and recreational spaces, the proposal would take this away from us, putting far to much pressure on overloaded existing services and infrastructure.
It should be rejected.

I believe the infrastructure of the parish can not support an increase of housing and my reasons are as follows:

There is no GP surgery or dentist within the parish and the closest ones are working to full capacity.

Major upgrades are needed in the parish for essential utility's (water, gas, electric) plus very poor internet connections with no fibre broadband upgrade until December 2019.

The local school is at capacity

It will increase traffic, poor public transport, inadequate roads and very limited parking.

If Brentwood council would invest into the parish then new housing would work but in its current state unless money is invested into the parish more housing will only cause more problems / strain.

I agree with the need for more housing but feel that the number of homes being suggested for Blackmore Village, 96 on the Woollard Way and Orchard Piece sites, is out of proportion to the size of the village and could upset the balance of the village.

Perhaps one of the sites could be developed with the other being left for the future if necessary thereby reducing the impact.

Developments of this nature are all very relevant but should not overshadow the need to maintain what we already have, for example the dreadful condition of the road, pavement, kerb and verges in Meadow Rise (Blackmore Road side).

OBJECTION TO: Brentwood Draft Local Plan: Preferred Site Allocations Consultation: I write in connection with the above planning application. I have examined the plans and I know both sites well. I WISH TO OBJECT STRONGLY to the development of these houses in both locations. The development of 96 homes off Redrose Lane would not only ruin the character of the village it would overwhelm it. Pressure for the development in the village is considerable, and has been successfully resisted previously. The reasons for rejecting those schemes included the inadequacy of the lanes to accommodate even small increases in traffic and the insufficient infrastructure within the village. Also adding 20 new homes on the Recreational Field (that I believe has a covenant to prevent ANY building) would lead to an increase in travel and congestion. There are no pavements and no facilities other than the Doctors Surgery that already has unreasonable waiting times for appointments. In addition, my concerns are that electricity, water and sewerage systems will be overloaded. There are several areas that flood on a regular basis (the main concern at the junction of Redrose and Nine Ashes Road). I am also concerned about Brentwood County Council's limited bus services through the village. This could restrict opportunities for the residents of the new development to travel by public transport and in consequence increase the scale of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the number of necessary journeys required when living in Blackmore. Added to this is the issue of parking facilities, the school already uses the village hall car park to capacity so cars are forced to park on Nine Ashes Road restricting it to a single lane. Plus, the junction emerging from Redrose into Nine Ashes Road has dangerously restricted visibility. In view of all of the above I feel it is not in the best interest of the village and strongly urge you to reconsider these (Green Belt) site allocations.

The four locations identified are greenbelt land. This should be kept as greenbelt as once converted to housing this will never return to countryside.

These are small villages and the impact will be to change their character. There is not the facilities in the area (school, doctors etc) to support the increase in population. Tips cross would loose the play field, so where would that be relocated to?

There must be brownfield sites within the Brentwood urban conurbation which would be more suitable.

My wife and I would like to object to the proposals for the following reasons.
Firstly, more housing would certainly take away our status as a Hamlet but more importantly our village does flood at times of heavy rain and 90-plus more houses would add to this corncern. Blackmore is surrounded by ditches to take excess water away and more concrete would make it a lot more hazardous.
Furthermore, the village school is busting at the seams and any newcomers would find it extremely difficult to place their children anywhere in the vicinity of Blackmore, especially as a lot more development is proposed in the area.
Another worrying concern is sickness. Our local surgery has, we are informed, well over 9,000 patients at present and it already takes a week or more to book an appointment. How would it manage another roughly 300 to 400 people in the village plus others from the surrounding area.
The village roads are extremely narrow and parking is another serious problem. Add another few hundred cars and .... The main roads out of Blackmore, we are afraid, would become extremely dangerous at peak times, especially the school run when the very young can be very vulnerable.
I could add more objections to the proposals. We not so long ago lived in a very quiet country lane surrounded by corn fields etc. Housing turned that lane into a race track for cars and also a very busy bus route.
Please, please bear these worries in mind when you make your final decision. After all, there are many, many brown field sites available nearer to London.

1. There are already 5 houses in the village that have been left unoccupied for 5 years and over, as well as buildings with planning consent for conversion to 3 homes on which no action is being taken. New building is not needed while the existing stock is underused.
2. The mains drainage of the proposed central village location is unable to take such a large development.
3. Medical services cannot service the implied increase of 300-400 population.
4. The primary school is already full.
5. If the developments access Red Rose Lane, the ability to walk safely there will be lost; if they access the village centre through the existing estates, the central area will become even more dangerous to pedestrians. Much of the village has only limited pavements, and the ability of residents to walk safely is a fundamental right.
6. Wifi response speed is already very poor, due to the distance from the main hub in Brentwood. A significant increase in users will make it even worse.
7. I particularly dislike the Council attitude that its problems can be dumped on Blackmore, as has happened with the illegal travellers' settlement.

Dear Sir, I am writing to object to the planning applications for building homes on green belt fields in Blackmore.

My husband and I have lived in Blackmore, Nine Ashes Road, for ten years, having chosen and bought our bungalow to be able to live in a peaceful quiet and pretty village.

Sadly over the last decade we have noted more and traffic thundering through the main Nine Ashes Road, leading in and out of Blackmore. My kitchen window looks out onto this road and practically every minute, a vehicle passes through.

If this application is allowed to go ahead, this would be a guarantee to treble this traffic, causing much more noise, pollution, parking problems and possibly, road accidents! It would place a huge strain on our local services, school and surgery (the surgery being already so busy, it is not possible to get an appointment to see a GP without a considerable waiting time).

Blackmore has already become a 'large enough' village - please, please do not allow this application to go ahead

The principle of National Green Belt should be protected. Once ,even if small incursions are made,it is the thin end of the wedge. Future generations will be deprived of areas of natural environment.

Infrastructure. Inadequate roads,traffic levels too high,parking problems in Blackmore, major upgrades needed to essential utilities for foul water system, water supply,power,gas and communications. At present digital communication is still one of the poorest in Essex. Currently we have a well fed by an underground water course.Any development must not cause flooding problems to this property. If anyone reads this please contact me to discuss.

This area is within the established Green Belt and borders the Blackmore Conservation area. It is agricultural land that has been worked as both arable and pasture land alongside other working farms.

The proposed development of 56 dwellings is a scandalous overdevelopment of the site alongside the 40 dwellings proposed for 077 Woollard Way.


If approval is given in respect of this site it appears that the Borough intends to apply to have the Greenbelts designation withdrawn. I strongly object to this loss and the extent of the wholly inappropriate size of the development. The intention of the Greenbelt legislation is to permanently provide and protect open space, a concept endorsed by Teresa May in her recent speech where she promised to protect the Greenbelt.

This site is subject to frequent flooding which leads to flooding in Redrose Lane making the road impassable to both traffic and pedestrians.

The River Wid draws water from the fields and runs alongside Redrose Lane and Chelmsford Road which is also susceptible to flooding and closure and submerging the village green which is inside the Conservation Area. The works necessary to alleviate the ongoing drainage problems have been outstanding for a considerable time and would need to be extensively carried out before any building allowed.

Access to this development, as with 077 Woollard Way, is only by the very narrow Redrose Lane which is totally unable to carry the additional traffic this development would cause.

The total development of Blackmore as proposed in this plan is a total of 116 houses which represent growth of 28.6% which in a village the size of Blackmore constitutes gross overdevelopment.

The local Doctors surgery is already at its full capacity and local residents have to wait 3 to 4 weeks for a routine appointment.

Apart from Kelvedon Hatch none of other parishes in the North and West of the borough have any proposed development at all. In addition Fryerning, Herongate, and Ingrave have no developments proposed either.

This area is within the established green belt. The LDP incorrectly defines this plot as 'small village infill' and incorrectly as being connected to the Doddinghurst urban area.

a) Land bordering on Redrose Lane & Chelmsford Road, Blackmore
The comments below should be read in conjunction with the attached mark-up of page 85 from your document.
Currently, your draft plan calls for the land shown as Site References 076 & 077 to be included as Housing Sites - Larger Villages. These plots together are estimated to yield 40 dwellings each - Total 80. The plan however, does not include the land marked in red on the mark-up which had in previous 2016 version of the plan been referenced as plot 250 with an estimated dwelling capacity of 20 units. This site,
plot 250, is adjacent to plot 076 and therefore on the same side of Redrose Lane and therefore should be included in proposed dwellings because it is located in "the development area of the village" Also within the existing Local Plan, page 35 under "Settlement Hierarchy, Figure 14(part 1of 2)" it states under "Category 3 - Large Villages for 2016" Blackmore should have "estimated new dwelling numbers of 336. Obviously with 076, 077 and our plot 250 the total would be 100 plus dwellings well within the above figure. It can be seen from the mark-up that inclusion of this land forms a complete self-contained extension to the village giving a possibility for 100 plus dwellings. With the above in mind I would request as previously offered that plot 250 also be included as a Preferred Site Allocation together with Site References 076 & 0-77 in your draft plan. b) Land bordering on Chelmsford Road & Spriggs Lane. This land is also bounded by Elm Farm and Elm Park Court (mobile home site). Scope for building on this area is good as it is currently not used for any purpose and of limited agricultural use. It also lies within an area of the village which has some existing development. Scope would exist on this land for a further 15 to 20 dwellings. Consideration should also be given to including this land as a Preferred Site. I do not think the above suggestions would harm the characteristics of Blackmore as village, on the contrary they would enhance it by providing additional people and facilities to the area.

I support the proposed plan in principle. I particularly support the allocation of site 076; Land South of Red Rose Lane, north of Orchard Piece, Blackmore. I believe this site would be a natural progression within the village boundary which will enable the village to grow marginally and to thrive. It would represent limited release of Green Belt land to meet local needs to 2033 and ensure Blackmore village remains a vital "inclusive, balanced, sustainable community" (S03).

I would particularly like to support the development of residential units on site 076, Land South of Red Rose Lane, Blackmore. This site is a logical extension to the existing settlement boundary of Blackmore. It would represent limited release of Green Belt land to meet local needs to 2033 and ensure Blackmore village remains a vital "inclusive, balanced, sustainable community" (S03). The site has defensible boundaries and is therefore well screened and is adjacent to Orchard Piece. A footpath through Orchard Piece leads to the village centre. The site was first supported in the SHLAA (2010) and in the Draft Site Assessment (July 2013) Ref G070A.

The proposed development in the area of the village of Blackmore at Orchard Piece and Woollard Way both with proposed access via Red Rose Lane is wholly inappropriate in my opinion for the following reasons.

The addition of approx. 100 homes to the village is not supported by a commensurate increase in the infrastructure.

We would require major upgrades to utilities systems such as water, power, gas, roads, and communications.

The centre of the village is already dangerous for children and aging adults crossing to use the shop, cafe and post office.
The current parking facilities within the centre of the village are daily oversubscribed and often illegal, this situation is made worse by the high volume of traffic passing through.
The additional 100 homes proposed with an approximate increase of 50 vehicles would only add to the dangers.

The local primary school in Blackmore is already full and the possibility of an increase in demand for this or other local schools may not be met within the local education system.

There is a limited bus service which will put additional pressures on the roads with commensurate pressure on local roads that are not equipped to deal with this level of traffic.

The expansion of the village will put pressure on local roads - the proposed access via Red Rose Lane is completely laughable and inappropriate - has no one even looked at this road which is barely wide enough for 2 vehicles let alone an additional regular daily increase of approximately 200 cars that will put unacceptable pressure on local traffic through the village and local countryside.

The development in Orchard Piece with access via Red Rose Lane is again an ill thought out proposal, this is again barely wide enough for 2 cars with no passing places for vehicles the additional traffic will cause damage to the road which already suffers from use by heavy vehicles which damage the verges & pathways.
Flooding occurs regularly due to the high water table with the run off from fields and the poorly kept ditches overflowing that results in vehicles being inoperable having ingested this flood water and left abandoned.

There is no GP surgery within the parish and the local health centre already struggles to service the needs of the community

In summary the degradation of the environment around Blackmore is an unacceptable burden on the residents of the village and the proposed development does not represent a well thought out option to meet housing needs.

It is the local planning authority's responsibility to retain the status of Green Belt and the change of status of these two parcels of land is contradictory to their responsibility to retain the status of Green Belt.

This development does not meet the requirements for an exception to Green Belt development being not a limited infilling and/or limited affordable housing for local community needs, an increase of 28.6% does not represent a limited infill.

Surely there are previously developed sites (brownfield land) which would not have such a dramatic impact on the village.

Why have sites such as the areas alongside the A12 along the Rayleigh Road not been considered in this respect?

The proposal of 4 sites within an established Green Belt area are an unequitable allocation of additional housing within the Blackmore parish when other villages in the area have no houses being proposed.

I object to the LDP plans covering Blackmore for the following reasons;
Increasing the number of dwellings by 28% will have a considerable impact on what is a small historic village.
The proposed sites are green belt
The proposed sites will run along a narrow historic lane which was used to bypass plaque victims.
Red Rose Lane is used by many horse riders and there is a livery stable along it at Wells Farm.
The increased traffic in the village will have a detrimental impact on village life.
the village is a mecca for cyclist at the weekend which benefits local business's as the roads are relatively quiet and this may stop if the traffic increases.
The sites proposed are effectively marshland and frequently flood.
Drainage in the village is poor and increased surface water drainage required may overwhelm the current facilities.
There is little public transport and this will limit those without their own vehicles.
The mobile library service is now almost stopped
The local school is almost at full capacity and little room for expansion.
The nearest GP surgery is also almost at capacity.
Using green belt land will alter the agricultural nature of this historic village.
There is virtually no mobile signal and broadband speeds are below average..
There will be significant disruption to village life whilst the construction is taking place.
