Re Ingatestone garden center.
I strongly object to the proposed 130 dwellings. That is a ridiculous amount of homes for a tiny and historic village to contend with. The facilities of the village are simply not equipped to deal with such a huge increase. Ingatestone has already sustained damage to its quaint character with recent modern developments.To make matters even worse the size of the proposed development is larger than the majority of the other sites(many of which have facilities which are far better suited to a significant increase in housing).
You are slowly eroding the beauty of the area.

My Property backs on to the area for development. In order to have the proposed 38 dwellings, some would have to be flats. When I built my house in 2009 I had to adhere to STRICT council guidelines with regard to ridge height, and sustainable homes, clearly these would be breached if flats were allowed to be built. I bought my property because it is not overlooked by others. Where would the access road be???? Ongar Road is already congested in the mornings, traffic backing up over the A12 bridge and the proposal would increase that problem.

The land to the rear of 310 Ongar Road is a wildlife haven with squirrels and badgers, amongst other animals, living there. Privacy and security of existing residents will be compromised. Schools and doctors surgerys will be overloaded. Traffic, already a problem, will be worse.

I bought my house in 1986 because it is a cul-de-sac with one road access and has residential private garage parking for my households four cars. Compulsory purchasing my garage block would leave the parking situation in Wistaria Close in complete chaos. I would take legal advise along with most of my neighbours and fight the council. Opening up the cul-de-sac and taking away private residential parking would increase the likelihood of all types of crime and seriously De Value properties in Wistaria Close.

I strongly object to the draft local development plan in Orchard Lane, Pilgrims Hatch (site 11 -policies DM23 & Appendix 2) as I consider:
1. Hulletts Farm is classified Grade 11 Listed property. Nowhere in Brentwood Borough Council's SHLAA does it acknowledge or state this. The surrounding land & buildings in its "cartilage" are also deemed to be Listed. These surroundings gardens, paddocks and attractive louvered brick & slate roofed farm buildings provide an important contribution to the setting and status of this 16th century building. Any 21st century development demolishing these buildings and paddock, which stands just a few feet away from this medieval farmhouse, would directly go against National Planning Policy Framework guidelines.
2. The site is definitely not a "brownfield" site as Hulletts Fram makes a significant contribution to the character and history of Pilgrims Hatch along with neighbouring Gents Farm, further down Hulletts Lane.
3. The farm land & buildings were used for livestock farming until 2001, so their lawful use remains agricultural and is specifically excluded from the definition of "previously developed land" in NPPF page 55, along with private residential gardens.
4. The original sale of land by the previous owner to build houses in Orchard Lane (prior to the Lee family moving in the late 1950's), obviously adhered to and abided by the criteria set down by Brentwood Council & English Heritage with regards to proximity of buildings. Any modern development being made within feet of the Farmhouse would irrevocably ruin its prescence and historical value.
5. Access to/from the site would be extremely difficult from A128 Ongar Road, as visibility is very poor from the Ongar direction.
6. I have seen Bats in the vicinity of the farm buildings which need to be protected.
7. The impact of any development to this site would seriously diminish the amenity of many local properties in this picturesque setting of Hulletts Lane.
With all this mind, please reject this preferred option immediately.

(1) Reference is made to the "Policies Map" (here and elsewhere) but I can find no map identified as such either in the document or on the planning web site.

(2) Last Paragraph -10 years is far too short a life for a new barn before it may eligible for conversion to a residential dwelling and will encourage speculative barn building in Green Belt by farmers and others. The ban on development for residential purposes should be at least 50 years - when the building will be in need of refurbishment anyway.

(3) Former Landings Surgery, Outings Lane. In the light of the location and nature and style of existing surrounding dwellings, a housing a density of 40 dph is far too high at this specific location and will create hazards for road users with its proximity to Deal Tree Corner. Indeed the housing densities employed throughout this table appear arbitrary and seem to be designed more to add up to 3500 than be a realistic assessment of practical housing densities, giving a very optimistic view of the development potential of the sites listed.

The surrounding land & buildings in its "cartilage" are also deemed to be Listed. These surroundings gardens, paddocks and attractive louvered brick & slate roofed farm buildings provide an important contribution to the setting and status of this 16th century building. Any 21st century development demolishing these buildings and paddock, which stands just a few feet away from this medieval farmhouse, would directly go against National Planning Policy Framework guidelines.
3. The impact of any development to this site would seriously diminish the amenity of many local properties in this picturesque setting of Hulletts Lane.
4. The farm land and buildings were used for livestock farming until 2001, so their lawful use remains agricultural and is specifically excluded from the definition of "previously developed land" in NPPF page 55, along with private residential gardens.
5. The original sale of land by the previous owner to build houses in Orchard Lane (prior to the Lee family moving in the late 1950's), obviously adhered to and abided by the criteria set down by Brentwood Council & English Heritage with regards to proximity of buildings. Any modern development being made within feet of the Farmhouse would irrevocably ruin its presence and historical value.
6. Access to/from the site would be extremely difficult from A128 Ongar Road, as visibility is very poor from the Ongar direction.
7. I have seen Bats in the vicinity of the farm buildings which need to be protected.

With all this in mind, please reject this preferred options immediately.

I strongly object to the draft local development plan in Orchard Lane, Pilgrims Hatch (site 11 - policies DM23 & Appendix 2) as I consider:
1. Hulletts Farm is a formally classified Grade II listed property. Nowhere in Brentwood Borough Council's SHLAA does it acknowledge or state this. The surrounding land & buildings in its "curtilage" are also deemed to be Listed. These surroundings gardens, paddocks and attractive louvered brick & slate roofed farm buildings provide an important contribution to the setting and status of the 16th century building. Any 21st century development demolishing these buildings and paddock, which stands just a few feet away from this medieval farmhouse, would directly go against National Planning Policy Framework guidelines.
2. The site is definitely not a "brownfield" site as Hulletts Farm makes a significant contribution to the character and history of Pilgrims Hatch, along with neighbouring Gents Farm, further down Hulletts Lane.
