We live very close to the westbury road car park , on the high street, and have four children. Once they are only enough to drive, our only way of managing the parking will be to buy season tickets for westbury road. We are not allowed residents parking on the high street and have limited space on our driveway. For this reason, I would strongly object to future plans to convert westbury road car park to houses.

I wish to bring forward a new site which is both sustainabe and deliverable in the medium to short term. This 12 acre site is located on Land South of Hook End Road, Doddinghurst, Brentwood Essex. [see attached map]
I wish to bring forward a new site. Land South of Hook End Road, Doddinghurst, Brentwood, Essex CM15 0LT. This is a 12 acre site surrounded by housing on 3 of its 4 boarders. The NPPF states in paragraph 49 that applications for housing should be considered in the context of the presumption in favour of sustainable development. With its already urban location and excellent transport links and the need for new housing this site is both sustainable and deliverable. The site could accomodate 120 large houses and affordable homes. There could also be the possibility of some public open space if the site was partially developed.

I do not think that the plans for the additional dwellings in the area have been properly thought through.
The plan for additional housing appears ill judged. How the Council expects to add so many additional dwellings into the local area without it causing an unsustainable drain on the current infrastructure demonstrates a lack of thought. Has there been an evaluation on the impact on schools, NHS medical services, public transport and roads really been considered. The current plan shows 101 dwellings being added to the current site of the Essex Fire Brigade in Rayleigh Road, a site that could only accommodate this number if the dwellings were built without due regard to the local environment and properties that border the site. Why also are two garden centres ear-marked for closure, this would be a very sad loss.

Unsound.
The text states that"Estimated capacity is based on density categories set out in the SHLAA and subsequent analysis". This statement is not correct.
The Wates Way site was not considered in the SHLAA. It was not considered for residential development nor densities of 130dph
The density stated has not been robustly tested. It is based on the developers promotional material only.
The capacity of access roads to support over 7% of the growth of the urban area is flawed. The density cannot be reconciled with a sustainable development and would result in other policies and technical standards not being met.

Every effort should be made to use 'Brown' sites in preference to encroaching on Green Belt land. Has any thought been given to the school availability should these extra houses be built? Ashwells Lane is already severely congested by Bentley School both morning and evening - and would there be more places available if required? This is not just a matter of more houses - All sorts of side issues are bound to arise there from, and could they be resolved? Unlikely!

Building on this site would take away the semi-rural feel of this area. Traffic movements would increase significantly in an already busy area. Green Belt land appears not to be sacred anymore!

The National Planning Policy Framework requires Minerals Planning Authorities to define Mineral Safeguarding Areas (MSAs) within their Local Plans so that known locations of specific minerals are not sterilised by other forms of development.
The proposed 22 residential sites (10 or more dwellings) have been checked against the Mineral Safeguarding Areas (mineral deposits) and Consultation Areas (minerals development/facilities), as required by the emerging Minerals Local Plan, Policy S8 - Safeguarding mineral resources and mineral reserves. The Mineral Planning Authority considers there are no impacts arising from the proposed sites. The Mineral Safeguarding Areas should be identified on the Policies Map.

The fact the Council has decided to plan for a lower figure than its OAN, the Council will need to identify sites to make the plan sound. The land owned by Mr Lunnon ( north side of Hay Green Lane) fulfills little gb function and should be allocated for residential development and gb boundaries should be amended accordingly.

My client objects to the discounting of their land at Pastoral Way, Warley which we have proven would be a highly suitable and sustainable housing allocation. The accompanying wording to this policy does not provide any justification or rationale for why the site has been discounted, which only states that it 'could be suitable' for up to 85 dwellings.

Land at Penny Pots, Ongar Road, Stondon Massey, Essex CM15 0EA
I seek to have the above site included for residential development as part of the revised Plan (the Proposed Submission Document) in early 2014.
No provision for any new dwellings, are proposed for Stondon Massey. Every village or settlement, of any size, needs an amount of new housing to accommodate the natural growth of the village, to provide for its residents.
This site, and other sites like it, could be favoured by respondents, as less overall harm might be caused to the Green Belt, as its a smaller site.

Stondon Massey Parish Council objects to vacant allocated employment land at Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate. Instead this site should be used to provide a group of homes for elderly people with on-site medical support and constant care.
Stondon Massey Parish Council has questioned the development of the three plus hectare site situated close to Hallsford Bridge into a commercial site rather than a residential site for affordable homes.
Following discussion, Stondon Massey Parish Council has an alternative suggestion having studied the Brentwood Borough Council Local Plan document.
PROPOSAL:
That the site is used to construct a group of homes for elderly people with on-site medical support and constant care.
ADVANTAGES:
- A facility for Brentwood residents where the life expectancy is increasing.
- A facility that would enable elderly residents to leave their current property which could be used to cover the growing Brentwood Borough housing need.
- A facility that provides local employment caring for the residents.
CONCLUSION:
Stondon Massey Parish Council has concluded that this proposal covers many of the issues addressed in the Brentwood Borough Council Local Plan and hope that the proposal will be considered.

The identified land (attached) are two small field parcels on each side of the entrance to Moat Farm. Moat Farm buildings to the north enclose the two field parcels while the defined settlement boundary and residential
dwellings of Pilgrims Close abut the west boundary. The southeast boundary is defined by Crow Green Road itself and residential development fronting onto the
road to the south and east. In summary the allocation of these small parcels is a 'logical rounding off' with no appreciable impact on the purposes of maintaining the green belt in this location.

Land between 339 and 361 Roman Road, Mountnessing, Ingatestone CM15 0UJ
The existing pattern of development in the locality of the site comprises a mostly built up frontage at Roman Road opposite the site, and on the southern side of Roman Road from 303 to the North, down to 361 to the South, next to the site.
It is the only un-built on gap along this part of Roman Road.
The site therefore qualifies for 'Infilling development' in accordance with paragraph 89 of the NPPF.
We would like to submit the above site for consideration to meet housing needs.

The draft LDP does not appear to contain a Borough-wide map to allow for easy appreciation of those sites in DM23 in the context of their locality. Accordingly, it is recommended that a further plan be produced which identifies the 22 allocations (together with Alternative Allocations) within this context. Although Land at Priests Lane (Clients Site) would make for a reasonable alternative residential site, its specified reason for such a conclusion is relatively sparse. Therefore we wish to provide supporting evidence for land at Priests Lane as a sustainable and preferred alternative to other sites included in Policy DM23.

This representation highlights the Council's further failure to consider an existing town centre site at Eastfield Road, Brentwood which has capacity for up to 13 units, achieving a density of approximately 68 dwellings per hectare. It is concerning to The Sisters that such a site, which has been brought to the attention of the Council during a formal pre-application procedure, has been omitted, through oversight, from the Council's Allocations of Major Housing sites. It is suggested that Policy DM23 is amended, in the following way, to include the subject site.

Support policy insofar as it allows for the redevelopment of combined West Horndon industrial estates and wider Strategic Allocation. Policy refers to phasing (appendix 3), but no site specific phasing information is given. Clarification needed on how it might affect timing of the West Horndon Industrial Estates, which make up such a significant part of the overall land supply.
"Sites 20 and 21 are brownfield land in Green Belt". In Appendix 2, Hansteen (021) and Threadneedle's (020) sites are also labelled 20 and 21 and are not within Green Belt. This is confusing. Further clarification is sought.

I am objecting to any further development in the Pilgrims Hatch area. The local infrastructure of this area with traffic congestion, GP's & schools can not be sustained. Ongar Road is the main route into Brentwood and this road has become heavily used currently by huge lorries & cars coming from A12 & M25. Any development will reduce the 'green' look of the area. Driving from Brentwood is a pleasure with the 'Greeness'. Please re think this plan.

Support identification of new homes to be constructed on land to the west of West
Horndon. Our client's site, which is part of the West Horndon Industrial Estate and forms part of the land identified as part of the Strategic Allocation, is a brownfield site that is located in close proximity from West Horndon train station and is therefore a highly sustainable and accessible location that would be ideal for residential development. In our opinion, this allocation is supported by the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and will assist Brentwood Council in meeting its significant housing needs.
Our client does not support the Alternative Approach or Alternative Allocations suggested.
