Dunton Hills Garden Village. I objected to this proposed housing development because:
1. This land is Green Belt
2. It will be next to the A127 which is already a very congested road and high pollution levels
3. It will be close to the C2C rail line which is already a very busy rail link
4. Surface water will accentuate flooding in the vicinity
5. Wildlife will adversely be affected
6. Housing for Brentwood should be nearer to its town
7. Basildon hospital is already working beyond capacity
8. We have enough problems with Travellers without attracting more to the area

I wholeheartedly support any future housing development throughout the whole of Brentwood and outlying villages particularly the Dunton Garden village. There is an urgent need for housing of all types in our communities now not in 20 years time.

We again would like to object to this Plan on the following grounds:
C2C cannot carry the amount of passengers as it stands let alone thousands more.
A new school is mentioned BUT where all new intakes go until such time as it is completed.
Sketchy plans for new surgeries, No hospital mentioned.
Residents will pay Council tax to Brentwood but will not doubt use Basildon services.
massive pollution will cause fumes, traffic, noise, congestion
Enough trouble with travellers sites South Essex does not need any more pitches.

Hello there I wish to object to the massive housing projects planned for the Brentwood area it concerns me that you are to build On green belt land I'm sure you need to ensure you firstly build on all available brown field sites first ? Secondly how many homes do the councils have that are laying empty that need renovation so a worthy tenant can take up residence? Have you considered that there isn't the infrastructure to handle - for example 2500 new homes at dunton , how will the doctors surgery cope will there need to be more schools built ? Then there's the impact in the roads through all the extra traffic !!

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.

The proposal will see West Horndon getting a disproportionate amount of development in comparison to the rest of the borough and when also combining this with the Dunton Garden Suburb development which is within such close proximity to West Horndon, will force the already overloaded road network, local amenities and railway to breaking point, so consideration to the excessive numbers of homes being created within our area need to be re-evaluated.
Even if you increase the capacity and number of stations along the Fenchurch Street Line there is only 4 platforms at Fenchurch Street to cope with all these extra passengers created through these developments along this line.

More importantly the allocation of gypsy traveller pitches in West Horndon with the new development is very questionable. The marketability of the new homes to be created will be severely affected and obviously those that already own property within West Horndon will also be affected. West Horndon is not a big village and it's community feel would be decimated with the amount of gypsy traveller pitches being proposed both within it and close proximity to it, from the Dunton Garden Suburb Development.

Commuters would benefit from living near a station but travellers do not commute to work so there is no justification for allocating them anywhere near our station or residential areas. I suggest an alternative site is found as far away from residential areas as possible. It is stated that they must be given sites as part of their human rights, but this gives little regard to those that have invested heavly in an area.

West Horndon hasn't been allocated with any senior residential accommodation which I find strange as we have a large percentage of elderly residence in our community. It would make more sense to build accommodation for the elderly in West Horndon as there is none at the moment and also the aging residents could remain in the village where they have lived for decades which would be of huge significance and comfort to them.

I strongly object to the huge disproportionate amount of development that has been proposed for West Horndon and its surroundings.
The road networks, station and local amenities are already full to capacity especially at peak travelling times, and with the proposal to almost double the size of our village these facilities will not be able to cope, where will the extra commuters or road traffic go?

West Horndon is a flood plain so I question whether it is an idea location to develop at all?
Our village has flooded every year during periods of heavy rain fall and our church and several homes have been flooded and residents have had to evacuate their homes.
Our gardens flood after average rainfall and several of our neighbours have had to dig trenches in their gardens to prevent their homes from flooding and some still have pumps running in their gardens. The clay soil does not allow for the rain to drain away efficiently and where we are a low point we are highly susceptible to vast amounts of flooding and damage caused as a result.
Any further building would reduce the ground able to cope with drainage and rain fall surely added to our drainage issues.

Also the proposal to allocate West Horndon with a gypsy traveller site is obsurd, who will buy a new home next to a traveller site????
It will have a huge impact on our quality of life as we already witness an increase in crime, burglaries and thefts when the travellers are in our area. Our house prices will plummet if we have them living anywhere near us and we seem to have pulled the short straw with a huge amount of these sites being allocated to West Horndon and Dunton Garden Suburb so we will be surrounded by them!

I suggest an alternative site is found as far away from residential areas as possible. It is stated that they must be given sites as part of their human rights, but what about our human rights having them dumped on our doorstep knowing full well the wave of crime that follows them around.

I also question how anyone can know for certain that we need this amount of development at all. With an uncertain future ahead of us and with the potential to leave the EU surely we will not need the same amount of housing that is in demand at the present time.
