Yes. Sustainable development in the Borough of Brentwood should be sought in all areas of the Borough, and especially along the A12 Corridor, to address the projected level of housing needs.
Q1: Yes. The character of the areas is completely different.
Q2: No. A127 at full capacity - widening could cause massive problems for local residents. Flooding, already a recurring problem, does not seem to have been addressed. Open fenland, with its wildlife and beauty, is greatly valued by residents of West Horndon.
Q3: Site 200 [Entire Land East of A128, south of A127] massively preferred to 037 [A/B/C - Land West of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], 038 [A/B - Land East of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], and 126 [Land East of West Horndon, South of Station Road].
Brownfield sites should be used for future building before exploiting greenfield sites.
New, appropriate infrastructure should be carefully planned before any building takes place.
My concern is that West Horndon will no longer be a village, its character treasured by local residents.
Q4: Site 200 has the greater potential to afford future benefit for the village of West Horndon.
Development unsuitable in sites 037 A,B,C [Land West of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon] and 038 A,B [Land East of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon] which are prone to becoming water logged - please refer to paragraph 100 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Q5: Yes. Sustainable development in the Borough of Brentwood should be sought in all areas of the Borough, and especially along the A12 Corridor, to address the projected level of housing needs.
Q6: Brownfield sites are preferable for development of housing. Greenfield sites should only be used when distinct levels of benefit to the existing area are proved.
Q7: Yes. Employment opportunities are a must, and accessible by road, rail and public transport (including buses).
Q8: Yes.

No. But only if between A12 and railway.
Q1: No. The areas specified do not mention [sites] 028C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] plus sites on the edge of the Green Belt south of Hutton 028A/B [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood]. These are huge areas of land that are not part of the A12 and A127 Corridors, nor villages to the North of the Borough. This specific area is not considered, shown but not part of the planning.
Q2: No. North of the Borough - Insufficient attention to infrastructure - transport, schools, GPs.
A12 Corridor - Yes.
A127 Corridor - Yes.
No mention of [sites] 028A,B,C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] - Green Belt which should not be used for housing. Now much used by walkers, open space, historical woodlands, ample footpaths and good tracks. Home to much wildlife, birds, small mammals. Should not be touched as page 27 consultation document. Difficulty of ingress/egress to Hall Lane - no pavements and too much traffic on Hanging Hill Lane.
Q3: Yes. The A127 Corridor is the most suitable as it lies between the A127 and the railway. Not prime agricultural land, room for expansion between these two networks. Already a core of infrastructure which could be added to.
A12 Corridor - Yes if confined to areas between A12 and railway.
North of the Borough - Only if small sites were made available.
Q4: The A127 Corridor.
Q5: No. But only if between A12 and railway.
Q6: To develop brownfield sites.
Q7: Yes.
Q8: Yes. In order for Brentwood to remain a town it needs a town centre. Out of town shopping areas are losing their attraction and they are accessible nearby - Gallows Corner and Chelmsford.
Q9: No. With all the Green Belt around us at [sites] 028A,B,C [Land east of Running Waters, Brentwood] and 192 [Heron Hall, Herongate, Brentwood] we delight in the open spaces available to us.

No - by their very nature the attempt is to develop small sites in the vicinity of currently occupied parcels of land. The nature of this though would overwhelm the current areas and is thus unacceptable. The A12 corridor to the north is also not well connected to either the A12/M25/M11 or Shenfield thus housing development in this area is not well suited to a commuter target group.

Development on the edges will only encourage more road congestion and remoteness. Instead, people need schools and facilities within easy reach, schools should be local, elderly care should be local. Local rail, walking and cycling routes would result in sustainable development.

Yes, the A12 is a strategic link within the Borough and provides a good opportunity for growth on the edge of Urban Areas. In order to facilitate this growth provision for a park and ride and employment opportunities at land between the A12 and the A1023 will be important in reducing congestion from the A12 and providing some employment land in a strategic location to meet some of the required 23 hectare demand identified in the plan.

Attention must be given to harm that would be done to the Green Belt. Where it prevents urban sprawl, preserves the historic character of the area or stops encroachment into the open countryside it must be kept as permanently open Green Belt. The same is true where it significantly contributes to preventing the merger of settlements and directs development to urban areas; these harms will depend on the scale of growth, separation of the settlements and degree to which the Green Belt area has already become urban.
Where Green Belt sites on the edge of urban areas have already become essentially urban and any derelict or damaged land is beyond improvement, their openness is lost and they have lost their purpose as Green Belt; they should sensibly be released.
The value of sites on the edge of urban areas that have retained their essential openness can be considered to be even greater than that of more remote areas of Green Belt consequently these areas must not be released.

No, definitely not if it is the Animal Sanctuary site.
I'm sending you a copy of the policy questionnaire; I'm not a local resident (not since 1974) but I am concerned about a part of your policy regarding development. I am a supporter of Hopefield Animal Sanctuary and am very concerned that Tesco will sell the land for development. I understand they have asked whether the council can purchase the land but unless the area is classified as leisure there is no way anyone can afford it. Please could you consider making this decision in favour of Hopefield and class the area for leisure. They do such a fantastic job caring for abandoned and rescued animals but I know you are aware of this! It would be heartbreaking to have to have these wonderful animals destroyed as there is nowhere for them to go. On behalf of my adopted boys George and Noah the donkeys, Sweet little Blossom, my grand-daughter's adopted pony and Hope my daughter's beautiful girl, Hope, the mare, please keep Hopefield for leisure.
Q1: I do not live in Brentwood so have only concerns for one area which is the possible development of The Hopefield Animal Sanctuary alongside the A12.
Q3: I feel the site alongside the A12 which is Hopefield Animal Sanctuary
should be kept for Leisure purposes only. It's a wonderful place - a huge
asset to Brentwood. Unless they are given a new site, or the council can
buy it from Tesco (at Leisure prices, not housing) all the animals will
probably have to be put down. We sponsor 2 donkeys and 2 horses there
and it's a lovely place to go to relax and enjoy the animals - definitely a
place of leisure! Please do not allow the area to be considered for
development but class it for leisure use only. Nearly 400 animals lives are
in your hands. Thank you.
Q5: No, definitely not if it is the Animal Sanctuary site.
Q9: Keep the one of the ones you have for leisure - Hopefield Animal Sanctuary.

Support growth in A12 Corridor, especially at Brentwood. Given the limited availability of brownfield sites in Brentwood, the Council acknowledges that Green Belt sites will need to be considered to accommodate future housing growth. The challenge, within the A12 Corridor and across the Borough, is to identify the most suitable sites. The site selection process should be clear and transparent and consider a range of factors including contribution towards the Green Belt purposes, landscape sensitivity and capacity, transport infrastructure capacity, accessibility and connectivity, sustainable patterns of development, natural and historic environment designation and constraints such as flood risk.

The NPPF requires the Council to maintain a five year supply of specific deliverable housing sites on a rolling basis. The Strategic Growth Options document seeks a site for large scale growth however it will also be important to ensure that a sufficient range of smaller sites are allocated in addition to larger development sites. Larger sites can take longer to come forward and once started can only support the delivery of a limited number of dwellings per year. The allocation of a range of smaller sites will help to ensure that this does not pose a threat to the Council's rolling five year land supply.
