the local green belt land and woodlands should be protected.
The schools are already over subscribed so how will new residents with children be accommodated.
There is already too much traffic on a12/a127 and local roads through brentwood and shenfield area.
Accommodating Gypsies and Travelers within this local area would lead to more crime and mess.
I have afew objections.

the local green belt land and woodlands should be protected. This is the reason a lot of people moved into the area and turning the surrounding areas of the town into an huge urban area would devalue housing prices and move current residents out of the town.
Accommodating Gypsies and Travelers within this local area would lead to more crime and mess. This is not a racist statement but a fact. We have worked hard to afford a house in this beautiful semi-rural area and moved here rather than the more urban areas of Romford, Grays, Basildon etc as we wanted our children to grow up in a safer environment. We paid a fortune for our house and pay a fortune in council tax for this privilege and i do not feel that the plans afoot to turn our local area into a huge built up housing estate and Gypsy stop off would benefit anyone.
Please select a different area.

The best options would be close to the M25, to reduce extra traffic through Brentwood and Shenfield.

The release of ad-hoc sites at the edge of the existing urban areas is the worst way of handling redesignation of green-belt land; it facilitates urban creep, allows settlements to expand without triggering planning and investment for necessary infrastructure and allows for speculative and low-quality development.

Road infrastructure cannot handle current load, in particular Brook Street roundabout and Brentwood high street. Also the beloved Hopefield animal sanctuary is in this area and the land it stands on should be excluded completely from any development options.

The question and implications are rather amibiguous, what does the Urban area border?? does it border greenbelt land? If so then no.

Yes, expanding an already urban area is ideal as there is already a working transport infrastructure to support the new development.

I am writing to register my objection to the proposed option for housing on green belt land forward west of Brentwood and Ingrave/Herongate and the area between Hanging Hill Lane and the Ingrave Road. The traffic in rush hour in this area is already bad and will be unbearable with further development of the land. I ask you please not to allow this beautiful ancient woodland to be built on.

Coalescence of the villages. Lack of Infrastructure.
Much of the development implied here will affect, and effectively coalesce Shenfield, Mountnessing & Ingatestone into one large Ribbon development with a further tentacle stretching out towards Margaretting (Chelmsford Rural), Exactly what the Green belt was designed to stop.
However there is at least one site ( At Thoby Priory) which is crying out for development. However it should be understood that there exists a requirement for major Infrastructure development within the ward; the 3 top requirements being: additional sewerage and an additional pond at the sewage works, Stock lane ( as indicated by Anglian Water); The complete lack of any Medical facilities within the Mountnessing area and one overloaded Doctor's Surgery in Ingatestone;A requirement for additional Infant/Junior School facilities. Currently Both Ingatestone Schools are full and that at Mountnessing has 4 places spare. These facilities should be provided by way of S106 / CIL agreements with the developers and built alongside the development.

I am strongly against the large site near Herongate. The villages surrounding Brentwood are what make it special. This site would join up Herongate and Ingrave and Hutton, destroying two villages. There is inadequate infrastructure to cope with development. The roads are too narrow and too busy.
I hope this site was just flagged up as a possibility that the council will throw out instantly. If not it proves decision makers are out of touch with their constituents. Residents of Herongate and Ingrave will put up a fight, and we think Green Belt must be protected.
I would like to comment about the local development plan but do not feel that I would be able to adequately express my views by completing the questionnaire and so hope that my e mailed comments will be added to the responses you receive.
I appreciate it is a difficult task trying to find locations for new housing in the area whilst still protecting what it is we all love about living in that area.
I am very strongly against the very large proposed sight to the side of Herongate. What makes Brentwood so special is the beautiful villages that surround it. If the proposal went ahead in this area you are essentially joining Herongate and Ingrave to Hutton and destroying two villages.
The proposed site does not have the infrastructure to cope with a housing development of the size suggested. The roads are barely wide enough for two cars to pass at present and the junction from the Billericay Road onto the A128 is inadequate and extremely dangerous for the already very, very busy roads in the area. The A128 is already unable to cope with the volume of traffic that travels into Brentwood during rush hour. The fact that from my understanding the Dunton Garden City is looking very likely is going to put the already inadequate roads under immense pressure. I know there are plans to expand the A127 into a 6 lane highway but I have seen no mention of the impact this Garden City will have on the traffic through the villages. To add a further housing estate in Herongate will be catastrophic to the traffic on the A128 and I see no way of improving the A128 to ease this.
I sincerely hope that this site was just flagged up as a possibility by the working party employed to find land in the borough and that the council will throw this proposal out instantly. If it does not it will illustrate that the people involved in making the decision have lost complete touch with its constituents and what makes Brentwood and it's villages special. I can tell you that you will face extreme resistance from all residents of Herongate and Ingrave who will not allow this to go ahead without a huge fight. We appreciate that houses need to be built but fiercely believe our Green built should be protected. Herongate and Ingrave are already going up suffer when the Dunton Garden City goes ahead and so we feel that we have done our bit and that other sites need to be chosen over the site in Herongate.

Don't destroy Green belt sites 028A/028B/03. Also sites 028C/192/183 'finger' of Hall Wood within this area contains bluebells- these are protected species under Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

There is no evidence of the very special circumstances needed to justify any of the site options. The borough needs more housing, but there is no evidence demonstrating that it is essential to develop small areas of Green Belt, rather than on Brownfield, or on strategically released areas of Green Belt. The A12 sites near Ingatestone and Mountnessing are small, piecemeal and will make limited contribution to overall need.

One of the fundamental purposes of the Green Belt is to prevent the coalescence of settlements within it. Ingatestone and Mountnessing are currently discrete settlements.

Most of the possible sites proposed are not on the edge of urban areas but around the villages of Ingrave and Herongate in a more rural setting. I would support some infilling on the very edge but not the destruction of the two villages in this proposal

URS's evaluation only considered two sites, and found considerable negative landscape impact from these. Further sites would create further cumulative impact. If the Counci's own consultants cannot produce justification, how can "very special circumstances" be proven for needing housing?

The A12 itself passes at an angle between Ingatestone and Mountnessing dividing the original Roman road. There is a strong sense of space on either side of the A12 as it passes between the villages but the development of the sites would substantially reduce this, especially on the south side of the A12 where sites 079 A and C come close to the boundary with the A12 but also on the north side where site 079B would do the same.

I am writing to voice my objections to all plans in the Ingrave/Herongate area.
I will strongly oppose any works in these areas. I understand that you need to build houses for people but you do not have to build on green belt land and ruin the villages we live in.

I am largely supportive of releasing sites to the east of the A12 corridor given the size of the potential development and being the right side of the borough to make use of the transport links from Shenfield station and the Shenfield entrance to the A12.

Yes. Given the level of projected housing needs with the Borough, substainable development requires Brentwood Borough Council to consider all available and suitable sites across the borough. The A12 corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of the Boroughs increased housing needs, and suitable sites should be included in any spatial strategy

All Green Belt land is irreplaceable, destruction of woodland, hedgerow and open spaces irreversible however a balanced and conservative approach to increasing housing along the urban borders of Running Waters if well managed could be a reasonable compromise

The individuality of each of these villages could be seriously impacted without reasonable gain. Without a cohesive plan that allows for proper investment in facilities, patchy individual developments will be allowed to thrive that put pressure on the infrastructure already under pressure.
