These proposals make eminent sense- they are small and easily absorbed within the villages and would cater for their growth with some from outside. They would also not impact too severely on green belt land unlike the East of Hutton possibilities

It is considered that greenfield but Green belt areas are better placed to provide further land for housing by way of evening up illogical current green belt boundaries around existing settlements that would be more sustainable to accord with NPPF than the re-use of brownfield sites that are isolated and unrelated to the identified villages

I feel that it is preferable for greenfield sites on the edge of local villages to be released, as the infrastructure and services will already be in-place (though may already be at capacity). Also this would promote community growth and integration.

It is preferable to develop brownfield sites where possible - the use of greenfield sites within the Green Belt should be the last resort.

Brownfield in preference to green belt. Once green belt is developed it is lost for future generations as a space to enjoy.

If there is a need for more housing it is awlays preferable for unused brownfield sites to be used first.

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.

Develop Brownfield first

Limited release of greenfield sites on the edge of villages is preferable.
With a growing population and very limited new housing being built in the parish villages during the last 30 years we need private and affordable housing that our children can potentially move into negating the need for them to move out of the area.
Too much housing is being built in and close to Brentwood which is having an adverse effect on the infrastructure there whereas some of this demand should be taken up by the smaller villages.

No. I object to this. The villages and surrounding countryside should not be part of the plan.

Keep these areas beautiful as they currently are - local communities and businesses have benefited by these areas being kept rural. There is a strong cycling community within these areas that could be lost, likewise the current buildings and services are not built to take further traffic loads. [Blackmore].

Brownfield only.

Brownfield only

I think brownfield sites should be used in all cases. The green belt is the lungs of our town.

Develope brownfield every time!

Utilise brownfield sites

It would be preferable to develop the brown field sites within the area rather than release additional land at the edge of the villages - this would enable there to be planned infrastructure improvements as well as utilising areas which are currently potentially underused. Developments within the area should be looking at providing for local need rather than for providing additional accommodation for London - which should be encouraged to look at providing appropriate redevelopments of under-occupied commercial and brown field sites
