Site R25 and R26 should be removed from the LDP. Please refer to the BVHA Neighbourhood Plan which sets out local housing need.

I understand that there has been no housing needs survey to demonstrate why Blackmore is included in the LDP. There should be clear evidence that all brownfield sites in the Borough have been fully utilised in an development plan. There is insufficient local infrastructure to cope with the planned housing expansion.

I consider the Local Plan in relation to development at Blackmore is unsound for the following principal reasons: - 1. Brownfield sites in the Borough as a whole should be developed before ever considering green field and green belt sites. 2. I understand there has been no "housing needs survey" to demonstrate that Blackmore should be in the LDP. 3. The infrastructure in and around the village is already exhausted. Blackmore cannot take more housing without extensive changes to the infrastructure.

There does appear to be any clear coherent idea for the villages including Blackmore. No cohesion with neighbouring authorities. Other private developments, i.e. Fingrith Hall Lane and Red Rose Lane etc don't appear to have been taken into consideration. Blackmore has only modest facilities and would struggle to accommodate these developments. Locally traffic seems to be mushroomed. Parking in the village centre is difficult. I think there are other allocated sites which could accommodate these developments more easily.

Site R25 and R26 to be removed from the LDP and Planners to refer to the BVHA neighbourhood plan which details the local housing needs, etc.

Sites R25 and R26 be removed from the LDP Plan. You need to refer to he Blackmore Village Heritage Association for our Local Housing Needs for our sustainable community. We do not want unwanted and unjustified large scale development. There has been no 'Housing Needs Survey' to demonstrate why Blackmore is included in the LDP. Was is not the Brentwood Borough Council who said "we will continue to protect our key assets including the environment, heritage and character of the borough".
