Blackmore is a small rural community with very little transport which is poor you can't even get to Shenfield Stations for London. So you need a car which means more pollution and could cause congestion. Planning to build on Green Belt (which we as individuals are not able to do) would risk the lives of wildlife like badgers, foxes, voles and hedgehogs.

This small community has very bad transport links which is going to mean more cars, leading to more pollution. The possible proposal of an entrance in Orchard Piece is a decision that should be made by people living there. Like myself, we have lots of young children living here that enjoy the safety of playing our in safety this would be severely compromised by this and is not acceptable at all.

During construction of the houses on the left hand side of Red Rose Lane towards Chelmsford Road, Fingrith Hall Lane from the A414 was used as the main access. The outcome of this was the destruction of the verge and edges of the road and the worsening of the potholes in some places there are drops of more than a foot deep and are still there. If a lorry meets a lorry even now further damage is caused.
At one point of this work being carried out a Co-op lorry almost overturned trying to pass another and caused the road to be closed for several hours.
This problem does not seem to be taken in consideration. This is small village and the building of these properties will undoubtedly cause more traffic problems through the village.

Blackmore is a remote village with poor road connections and is distant from towns/railway stations, bus service is poor and not suitable for commuting. Car travel is essential to get anywhere if you reside in Blackmore, so more houses more cars/pollution/congestion. Which is contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the Government aims for reducing unnecessary journeys.

Blackmore is a distant village from towns and stations with poor roads. It does not meet strategic aims of BBC or Government, has poor public transport. Every household has to drive to get anywhere. This means high level of car use, which results in more carbon in the atmosphere, which does not comply with BBC or Government guidelines and Government climate change policy.

Blackmore development does not satisfy BBC strategy requirements for the LDP. For the following reasons:
- On Green Belt land
- No affordable housing
- Creates no local jobs
- All new residents would have to commute by car
- Destroying local wildlife habitat
- Overloads current inadequate village infrastructure

Blackmore village is very remote. It is a long way from towns and railway stations, the bus service is almost non-existent and the lanes are too narrow and dangerous to walk. It is unsuitable for commuting and the car is the only way to travel if you live in Blackmore. More houses would therefore result in more vehicles, congestion and pollution (70 houses would result in approximately 140 more vehicles in the village). This goes against BBC’s objectives and the Government’s aim for reducing unnecessary car journeys.
The loss of 2 large green belt fields to houses would result in the loss of homes for foxes, hedgehogs, voles and badgers, amongst others.

Strategic aims and objectives, the Council's insistence on persevering with the Blackmore sites R25/26 ignores issues that have still failed to be addressed. Namely the negative impact on the village character, the detrimental impact on the health of the local community. Future proofing against climate change hardly seems compatible with releasing land within the Green Belt and the increase in traffic movement in and around the village. There is limited and infrequent public transport being a remote village to the north of the district. Encouraging the use of motor vehicles in inconsistent with a meaningful sustainability objective.
Chapter 3.13, you make reference to 'healthy communities' by creating a balance of employment opportunities with the necessary facilities and services to sustain healthy and active communities'. How have you demonstrated your commitment to this objective no provision has been made to ensure the health of the community. No additional jobs will be created in Blackmore. No additional facilities have been created in Blackmore. No additional services have been created in Blackmore.

We have a very small congested shop and post office. Blackmore has a large number of visitors by the village green and ponds, a very old church and priory which is said to have been visited by Henry VII, an antique centre, 2 pubs and a tea shop all of which causes chaos and dangerous parking especially round Horsefair Green and Fingrith Hall Road where cars are parked both sides, I have witnessed large vehicles including the library van trying to navigate safely down these areas.
The school is already over subscribed. The doctors surgery extremely busy. Red Rose Lane completely unsuitable for increased traffic.

The issue of housing is not to keep adding to a national problem, its how its managed for the future, downsizing should be incentivised to allow people trapped in 3/4/5 bed houses but cannot buy a 1/2 bed bungalow house. I've checked everytime one comes up for sale within minutes they are sold and developed. Here lies a large contributory factor to the national housing problem. The BBC/LDP have been bullied and running scared because central Government have plucked a number from the hat. To build at any cost.

Huge concern that the strategic objectives have been completed with very little concern for many of the important issues that will affect Blackmore and its residents (R25 and R26). Blackmore is the smallest village of those considered for development and certainly does not have the infrastructure to cope with additional houses. Roads, local amenities, education. An increase of 23% in dwellings is against Brentwood and Government guideline place the new development on the centre site has/will increase further burden on Blackmore. Additional cars will increase the traffic flow which will further effect the congestion on our roads with the village being a favoured cut through for vehicles using the A12/M11. The fields being considered for development and in Green Belt and building is against policy. The allocation of these sites seem to bear little consideration for many of the the points raised by the BVHA and have only been adopted to justify R25 and R26.

Blackmore is a remote village. It has poor connections and public transport. Car travel is essential. So more houses mean more cars (national average is 2 per household). So more pollution and congestion. This is contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the Government aims for reducing unnecessary journeys. Even more so after pledges made at the climate change conference this autumn in Scotland by the UK Government.

The development proposed for Blackmore does not meet any of BBC strategic points, nor many of the Governments. Does not satisfy the following:
1. Will not create any local jobs
2. There will be no affordable housing
3. No local benefits to Blackmore iteself
4. The 70 houses will generate 140 cars plus, everyone has to commute, shop, hospitals etc by car. Bus service too infrequent to assist
5. Local infrastructure cannot cope now, poor and narrow lanes, no pavements on many lanes, no lighting, doctors unable to meet current demands, local school already full.

For the VISION and STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES to be meaningful, sound and effective, they have to be rigorously applied throughout the Plan. The allocations in Blackmore (R25 and R26) fail BBC's own 'tests', in particular:
• Blackmore is the most remote Village in the entire Borough
• Existing (and future) residents are, and will remain, totally dependent on personal motorised means of transport
• An additional 70 homes will likely mean an additional 1,000 plus traffic movements per day (including the increasing frequency of delivery vehicles, for food and other shopping)
• All leading to increased pollution levels
• There will be a significantly negative impact on biodiversity, if two green fields, in the Green Belt, are developed
• MM1 and MM2 are rendered unsound (not effective and not positively prepared), should R25 and R26 remain in the LDP

The main modification is unsound and not compliant. Increasing the housing stock means increasing the number of car journeys pollution and congestion. How anyone can consider a 20% increase in the village size is sound, without considerable increase in the infrastructure of the village is beyond comprehension. The roads, schools capacity and doctors provision would all need increasing. Blackmore is a class 4 village not a class 3.
