This site has not been identified as an allocation, it is adjacent to the urban edge of Herongate, which was identified as part of the 2013 Preferred Options, Draft Assessment as a Larger Village. We recognise the proposition that most new development will be focused upon Brentwood and Shenfield, the scale of the future housing requirements arising in the period to 2030 will inevitably require the considered release of land from the Green Belt in Larger Villages. Our client's site (land between Heron Close and Billericay Road) would provide an appropriate scale and balance of development in this vicinity which would meet the longer term needs of the Borough as identified in the objectively assessed needs study. A limited release of land on the eastern side of the settlement between Heron Court and Billericay Road would not be in conflict with the Green Belt purposes identified at paragraph 80 of the NPPF.

To summarise, we fully support growth within the A12 corridor and specifically the ability of our client's site in Herongate to deliver a sustainable development on the eastern side of the settlement that would not be in conflict with the Green Belt purposes indentified at paragraph 80 of the NPPF.

No. I don't want to live in a London Borough. I like that we are a small town and have a community feel.
Q1: Do not build on green land.
Q2: No. Please let small villages remain part of English heritage and not overpopulate them.
Q3: Yes, leave the Green Belt alone. Do not build on Green Belt.
Q4: I think this has already happened near Dunton Ford's. Another large town has been created but where are the schools and why have the roads not been addressed already to deal with the extra population?
Q5: No. I don't want to live in a London Borough. I like that we are a small town and have a community feel.

Q12: Yes. The new port at Tilbury and the impact our village will have if the M25 and A130 fails to work. A128 will be used as a cut through to bypass the roads. Pollution and safety has not been addressed.
Q13: Ensuring our roads are safe and well maintained including pavements.

We agree that the release of Green Belt land within the A12 corridor is an appropriate solution to meeting OAN. The release of appropriate sites need not have negative impacts on infrastructure and the land east of Nag's Head Lane is well positioned in this regard. The proposals would result in a net benefit in terms of junction capacity and pedestrian connectivity.

Yes. The A12 corridor is where the highest concentration of existing services and facilities are located and it is one of the Council's corporate priorities that new planning policies help ensure that "we will have the right mix of homes in our towns and villages"It therefore follows that appropriate sites on the edge of the existing urban area should be released from the Green Belt. We would welcome the consideration
of suitable sites within this area, such as Nag's Head Lane, because they have the lowest propensity for landscape harm when compared with the alternative growth options as set out in the Interim Sustainability Appraisal (Interim SA). However, we would not consider it appropriate to take an 'all or nothing' approach to growth in the A12 corridor based on the growth options put forward in the Interim SA and that a combination of options may be appropriate by picking the best available sites.

No.
Q1: No. I think the government need to look at unused inner city buildings, derelict land and so forth. Keep our Green Belt identify, protect our heritage and not overbuild.
Q2: No.
Q3: Yes. Keep our villages especially Blackmore as it is. We haven't the resources and the roads would become dangerous, congested and like a town.
Q4: Not sure.
Q5: No.
Q6: Is this a question or a statement? I do not agree with using Green Belt at all. I strongly believe that Brentwood or elsewhere could be developed more.
Q7: No.
Q8: Yes.
Q9: As in what provision? Don't know.

Q12: Quality of life, enjoying greenery of a natural environment. Safety for our children to grow up more free, not a built up area - this is why we moved to Blackmore, Woollard Way.
Q13: Don't know.
These questions are very biased and vague.
I do not want Woollard Way - the brownfield area of Green Belt to be developed / built on. This will devastate us. We moved here for the greenery and views. This will devalue our homes, effect our children's freedom and security. A close made into a noisy road would be categorically wrong and devastating. All the children love watching the horses, wildlife in the field next to use, they play out with no through traffic.

Given the level of projected housing need within the Borough, sustainable development requires Brentwood Borough Council to consider all available and suitable sites across the rest of the Borough. The A12 Corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of the Borough's increased housing needs, and suitable sites should be included in any spatial strategy.

Where available, brownfield sites should be considered above Greenfield sites. There may be instances where the release of small amounts of Green Belt land around villages provides opportunities for these villages to grow in a sustainable manner. However, this should only be considered once brownfield options have been exhausted and where the development would create a positive and balanced impact on the community. Releasing all of the Green Belt land around West Horndon village for example would not create a positive or balanced impact on to the existing community. An isolated Green Belt release to allow for limited development that would provide access to the park could be acceptable for example.

As the A127 corridor can be expanded to cope with increased road traffic & increased rail traffic, including an additional rail station, disruption to the whole of Essex will be confined to a smaller area both during construction & once housing is completed & occupied, as long as local amenities to this area (schools, GPs, shops) are adequately provided for the increased population, so sites around West Horndon & Dunton Hills seem the best options. Dispersing development to multiple sites over a wider area would clearly result in more widespread disruption throughout Essex both during construction & once new housing occupied, which would seem a major disadvantage.

No - the previous answers deal with this.
One who is opposed to the envisaged growth there seems to be little point in commenting on any individual site.
Q1: This entire exercise is pathetic when shipyards, coalmines and factories were closed down there was a need for an excercise such as this in those locations.
Q2: See my husbands answers.
2 yes by all means consider the issues, providing that the answer in Q1 is considered.
3 One who is opposed to the envisaged growth there seems to be little point in commenting on an y individual site.
5, No - the previous answers deal with this.

8 Yes - But no more supermarkets.
9 Yes - Instead of farmland being sold to developers, use ot for leisure.
4 None. The A127 is developing into a built up corridor from London to Southend.
12 No - This whole programme should have been rejected. We have an MP who is a member of the government, what is his part in this?
13 The previous answers deal with this.
1.14 Consultations. For a consultation process this must be seen as a disgrace.While there has been talk of growth - only today (16/02/2015) have we seen consultation documents. It has to be asked just who has been consulted.
