The A127 and the C2C rail line are operating at capacity at even 'off-peak' times. Further expansion and development would not be easy. Flood risk needs to be addressed. The local landscape should be cherished not dismissed.
The implication that the A127 Corridor has greater potential for development and improvement than the A12 is misguided. It is a very heavily used road with poor potential for widening as there are few areas where properties do not abut the road. Intermittent widening would increase the potential for accidents. The landscape may not be as 'pretty' as other parts of the Borough but it is greatly valued by local residents and contributes to an open rural feel to the area and local settlements. Local roads are also over-used and under-maintained.
Rail infrastructure (C2C line) does not present development potential; it is a line already stretched to capacity, especially in peak hours and even into the so-called off-peak times.
Flood risk is not addressed for any of the sites. It is clearly a major problem in the A127 Corridor and needs to be fully assessed before any development decision can be made.

Yes but with reservations:
A "North of the Borough" - brownfield land that is not also greenbelt should be released. Releasing greenbelt land that has been allowed to become derilect land should not be allowed as this will encourage mis-use of land. Moreover, the 2013 SA shows that "North of the Borough" has water and sewerage shortages as well as a poor road infrastructure.

B The A12 corridor has the best road and rail access of all the communities and is best suited for expansion without changing the character of the area significantly.

C Disagree that the A127 has more scope for development than the A12. The A12 needs significant improvement as this NE segment of the London motorway network is the only key compass direction out of London without a motorway route.

yes to A12
No to north (villages) and A127 due to lack of existing infrastructure
I would disagree that the villages in the north can support some development due to the poor provision of transport infrastructure in terms of bus links and the state of the roads. Congestion would also become a major issue. The roads are already clogged with double parked vehicles. I do, however,agree that the villages need help economically, local services need improving and the village businesses need help. Villages also suffer from a lack of affordable housing for the elderly and first time buyers.
I also disagree that the A127 corridor is suitable as this is already congested, the landscape character would also suffer. Major development occured in recent years at chafford Hundred which has taken its toll on existing transport infrastructure.
I agree with the comments on the A12 corridor, with the advent of crossrail and the existing infrastructure it would make sense to develop in this area

A12 corridor should be split into urban and south Brentwood \as the south Brentwood area has similar qualities to north Brentwood and hence building should be limited to the urban area.

I object to the proposal in section 2.15 that says "sites on the edge of villages could be released". This would be a detriment to the attractive natural landscape, spoil the rural charm of these villages which all borough residents can enjoy and put extra pressure on rural roads, creating extra danger to the walkers, runners, cyclists, horse riders and other leisure users attracted to this part of the borough.
Otherwise, the issues raised do not appear unreasonable.

While supporting this approach as previously stated the Town Centres within the Borough need special consideration with regards to housing density and allowable excuvations to prevent overdevelopment and damage to the existing adjacent properties, without this protection the character of the centres will be lost.

Redevelopment would be limited due to infrastructure difficulties in north of the borough due to public transport, local facilities such as schools, doctors, shops, etc, needed to meet large numbers of new residents.

I agree with the A12 and A127 corridor issues raised but the North of the Borough has and is already seeing significant development, both legal and illegal. Already several industrial units have either been demolished and new housing erected or had their use changed to residential and further developed.

We agree with most of the issues, but the transport within and around the borough is very congested already and would be even worse with extra development. The villages in the north area would be extremely hard hit with any increase in traffic on the local roads connecting to the highway network. With public transport being so limited in the villages most journeys have to be undertaken by private vehicle.
Currently the roads are in a very poor condition and any increase in traffic would only make things worse.

By treating the A12 Corridor as a block the document overlooks many issues relevant to the individual communities in the broad area. Access to Shenfield and Hutton from the A12 is effectively only from the Mountnessing round-about. Despite its size the area has succeeded in keeping a semi-rural character, and any redefinition of green belt space around it must take account of that. Brentwood is more urban in character and has much more open connections to the M25 and A12. Pilgrims Hatch is blocked in by the A12, to which it has very limited access.

I Agree with the issues raised for each of the areas. I especially agree with the issues raised for the North of the Borough. I would like to add that I have serious concerns about expanding villages within this area, due to the lack of transport links and the natural beauty of the area. The A12 corridor and the A127 corridor are much more suited to development.

It is misleading to call this the A12 option. The A12 is to the North of the proposed area and only serves Mountnessing. The majority of new residents will be to the South of Huttton and Shenfield, residents of which rarely use the A12. Those residents use Rayleigh Road, Hanging Hill Lane and Ingrave Road to access transport services and Brentwood. There is already massive congestion on these roads, which new residents would add to. This option also ignores the existing conservation area in Hutton East/Hutton Village, failing to preserve the historical significance of the area.

It is quite illogical to include Herongate and Ingrave into the A12 corridor. The fact is that the major shift of population to the south of the Borough will have a fundamental effect on the two villages through the loading that will be put on the A128. This is particularly true of the road through the villages because this constitutes a bottleneck to traffic flow currently - it can only get far worse.

Growth in the north of the borough should be restricted to brownfield sites to permit natural growth of the villages on an acceptable scale. Growth should not encroach upon the green belt to preserve the attractive natural landscape. Significant growth is not sustainable due to the restricted transport infrastructure and local facilities.
The A12 and A127 corridors are far better suited to more significant development due to improved transport links.

North of the Borough - sites should not be released for development on the edge of village as this leads to villages sprawling and potentially merging into each other.
Green Belt development should not be permitted in any of the three areas - if you allow that it defeats the purpose of having a Green Belt in the first place.
