Blackmore should be classified as a class 4 village not class 3. It has 1 shop and 1 small oversubscribed school so cannot be compared to the likes of larger villages such as Doddinghurt which has 3 times the population. Blackmore only has 800 residents. The allocation of 70 houses will potentially increase the population by around 30% with clearly extremely limited infrastructure.

We are a small village with very limited amenities, Co-op, pub, tea room and hairdressers unlike the surrounding larger villages which also have better road and railway links. We are not a class 3 village we are a 4. You cannot get a place in local school also you can never get a GP appointment.

Blackmore has been classified as a category 3 village incorrectly. A proper assessment will prove that it is smaller, more remote and with less facilities than the other category 3's. It should be category 4 and that would highlight even more how disproportionate the housing allocation is Blackmore with no local plan has 70 allocated. A true 4, Doddinghurst has a local plan with more than 3 times the population and has 0 allocated. The rest of the northern villages combined with 8 times the population have 0 houses.

Blackmore is not a class 3 village like Doddinghurst, it should be recognised as a class 4 village. Blackmore has 1 teashop, 1 small shop and a part time hair salon so cannot be classified the same as larger villages such as Kelvedon Hatch and Doddinghurst who have a parade of shops, a lot more houses, are closer to towns and stations, and have far better and safer road links.

Settlement Hierarchy, you state a key consideration was the vitality of rural villages and ensuring they grow and thrive. It is unrealistic to allow rural villages to grow when the facilities do not match the needs of a growing population. The pressure on existing facilities is not consistent with ensuring the health of small rural communities.

Defining Blackmore as “relatively larger village” in Settlement Hierarchy 3 now makes reference to presence of the primary school. However the school is already over-subscribed and residents moving into the village have no guarantee of being able to obtain a place in the school for their children. There have been no proposals so far as to how the educational needs for families moving into an additional potential 70 dwellings will be met, nor how, as the same section now states, “Development opportunities will be supported to meet local needs where appropriate (for example health facilities, bus services etc.).

Blackmore has only 1 shop and part time hairdressers unlike Doddinghurst which has parade of shops so should be classed as class 4 village not 3. The only reason Blackmore was chosen is because developers are prepared to build on 2 Green Belt fields. As Blackmore is desirable and they will maximise profits.

- Blackmore, when compared with, e.g: Doddinghurst; Kelvedon Hatch; Herongate & lngrave (which is a single conurbation); and Mountnessing, is distinct and very different
- Blackmore's size, facilities (including inter-alia shopping 'centre'), resources, infrastructure, public transport, roads and connectivity with the rest of the Borough and beyond, underline the above point
• The 'Office for National Statistics' own definitions of settlement types, is totally sound and comprehensible, whereas the LDP categories are not positively prepared or properly thought through. Blackmore is nowhere near 'category 3' status, rather it is attempt to 'retro-fit', and thereby 'justify' the flawed thinking behind the late inclusion of R25 and R26 into the LDP
- By way of example, in the BBC Paper LF59A, dated 19/04/2021, it refers to Blackmore having a Travel Agent. This is not a branch of TUI, rather a semi-retired gentleman of pensionable age, working from an office bedroom. 'Due diligence by Yellow Pages' rather than knowledge of the village.
