Sites R25 and R26 should be removed from the LDP. The planners should refer to the BVHA Neighbourhood Plan which clearly sets out our local housing needs for our already sustainable community.

Plan is unsound as no clear strategy for villages, including Blackmore, in the north of the borough. Sever impact on Blackmore of construction of dwelling as village cannot support services, i.e. school, doctors, bus service, etc. No 'housing needs survey' to show why Blackmore is included in LDP.

Remove and drastically reduce the number of proposed houses in Blackmore to a maximum of 5. The infrastructure would have to be greatly improved with roads into the village being improved. School places would need to be found without having to drive to another part of Brentwood thus increasing pollution. A new GP Surgery would be needed as the only one in the village is under substantial pressure with waiting time for appointments at up to 3 weeks. Links for the villages via public transport would need to be sufficient for the ageing population.
