I think growth of West Horndon is preferable to the Dunton Garden Suburb proposal as it maintains separation of these two communities.

As noted before the A127 options noted above seem preferable and the development of Dunton Garden a very good idea.

West Horndon for reasons already stated

West Horndon site

I have marked this as a Comment as I Support one option and Object to the other.
Of the A127 Corridor Housing Site Options I strongly think the Dunton Garden Suburb is the best location for developing, and a logical extension of the more built up area of Laindon/Langdon Hills. The proviso here being that there is a clear greenbelt zone of fields east of the A128, perhaps the water course acting as a natural barrier to development, thus clearly separating West Horndon from Dunton Garden Suburb. This site would meet the aims of both Brentwood and Basildon councils e.g. win-win.
In contrast I object to any scale of mixed use development at West Horndon as it will reduce the quality of life for all existing residents, there is insufficient infrastructure and services, and for various other reasons outlined in my response to the original 2013 Preferred Options Consultation regarding this site.
In particular I object to any proposal to plan gypsy & traveller sites within the village of West Horndon boundaries and the local plan boundary, for reasons already detailed in the response to the original 2013 Preferred Options Consultation (crime, social disorder and tensions, community cohesion, rubbish etc...etc....).

The A127 Corridor is the best option, since its existing population density is relatively low, and it is already well served for transport, with the dual carriageway connecting it to the motorway network, plus a railway line connecting it to London.

Subject to need, all will probably provide good usage.

I consider this to be a leading question and am lead, by the question, to think the A127 corridor is the better location.

I think the best site would be the proposed Dunton Garden Suburb

Please see attached document

I think the A127 corridor and C2C mainline infrastructure means this is a sensible area for growth.

The Brentwood Town centre is already congested and this sits on the A12 corridor. New development must be focussed on the largely underdeveloped A127 corridor in particular the West Hordon are where the station is. To the North of the A127, the Warley open space, and Thorndon Country park area must be protected.

See attached consultation questionnaire.

Please refer to the attached letters relating to the proposals for development in the above mentioned area.

It is widely felt that any building developments on these existing Green spaces (regardless of actual planning definition) would have an adverse effect on all local residents, from the young to those retired.

The area is the first 'parcel' of countryside North of Brentwood and as such is the Gateway for all residents who wish to enjoy access to the paths and Bridleways that stretch out from this point.

The access to that 'Gateway' is currently along quiet, almost traffic free, lanes and is a safe passage for both young and old.

It is vital that the local community and Brentwood as a whole do not lose such a valuable and recreational asset.

Any development upon the sites, in the area, would involve road building and re-planning of the local highway, putting even greater pressure upon the already dangerous, Ongar Road/Coxtie Green road roundabout. It is probable that any such development will further endanger pedestrian access to the previously mentioned 'Gateway'.

No development should take place.

Hullets Lane/ Gents Farm and Environs, Pilgrims Hatch
Site Ref: 176

This parcel of land referenced above, is the closest to the 'Gateway' reference point mentioned in the covering letter, any development here would destroy that change affect one experiences when leaving suburbia and entering the real countryside.

The land itself has a natural spring and most of the time is waterlogged. Great Crested Newts have been seen in its pool, bats frequent the area and other wildlife, badgers, squirrels, etc 'live' in the vicinity.

Access is a problem to this site, as mentioned in the covering letter.
The land is adjacent to the Grade II Listed Gents Farm and its cartilage buildings.
Area must remain Green Belt.

Hullets Lane/ Gents Farm and Environs, Pilgrims Hatch
Site Ref: 011C
SHLAA ref: G038

This parcel of land, reference above, was stated as Green Belt in an unsuccessful development application made in 2009/10. There has been no stated change in that status and the previous reasons for the rejection of the plan remain in place.
The land is habitat for bats, smaller species of deer and other wildlife, badgers, squirrels, and untold varieties of bird species including long tailed tits.

Access is a problem to this site, as mentioned in the covering letter.

Again the land is adjacent to the Grade II Listed Gents Farm and its curtilage buildings.

Area must remain Green Belt.

Hullets Lane/ Gents Farm and Environs, Pilgrims Hatch
Site Ref: 011B
SHLAA Ref: G038

This land is scrub land but is habitat for bats, badgers, squirrels and untold varieties of bird species including long tailed tits, protected species such as Great Crested newts are known to be in this area.

Access is a problem to this site, as mentioned in the covering letter. It is probable that this area would be sacrificed to any road improvements to support the other building plans. The land currently acts a natural sound barrier against traffic noise on the Ongar Road, especially the braking sounds emanating from the Coxtie Green / Ongar Road roundabout.

Again the land is adjacent to the Grade II Listed Gents Farm and its curtilage buildings.

Area must remain Green Belt.

Hullets Lane/ Gents Farm and Environs, Pilgrims Hatch
Site Ref: 011A
SHLAA ref: B025

In October 2013, many of the local residents objected to the proposed building of domestic property on the above site, nothing has changed in the interim concerning those objections.

We, like many locally are once again stating that this building proposal should not be considered.

Hullets/ Gents Farm area is Grade II Listed, together with its curtilage buildings which border the rear gardens of 10 to 20 Orchard Lane. The buildings cannot be demolished to gain access to the paddock, which is Green and not Brown belt land, as it would defile the meaning of the Listing.

Area must remain Green Belt.

Dunton would ease pressure on other sensitive areas

Dunton appears to be the best option as currently the land is effectively unused, therefore less people will be affected, directly and/or adversely, by development at this site than the other options proposed. A development here has the capacity to provide the majority of the housing needed at a single site, and has potential for future growth when it inevitably becomes necessary. The inevitable disruption caused by any construction would be centralised at a single location so less people would be affected and aspects such a traffic management can be better planned and managed.

Dunto Garden Suburb

Dunton Suburb - allows the growth to be isolated to one area. The council can focus on the provision of services including transport, schools and healthcare within one place. Strategically this is easier to manage in the long term.

Cant't tell from the information here but I only support any of these sites if the are currently BROWNFIELD.

I don't think the Local Plan should contain any Greenbelt or Agricultural sites. These should only be identified once all Brownfiled has been identified and developed.

I would support Dunton as the potential for growth is greater and would be cheaper

Dunton - cheapest - has a main road nearby - has brownfield sites.

I'm sorry but I don't know what sites I am supposed to be commenting on. If I am meant to be choosing areas along the a127 corridor you do not specify how many homes you are proposing could be built here. If all your borough needs could be met here then why not build them here assuming proper schools. doctors, roads, shops, etc will be provided here also.
