The A12 site incorporates a large area of green belt land and linking these areas would involve the construction of new roads.
By developing a new site close to the A127 it can be started 'from scratch' with new facilities

Re: The A12 Corridor. I think the vast piece of land north of Ingrave, is inappropriate as housing in its entirety as it is much too large to be sustainable with no existing infrastructure as it is currently arable farmland. It is also Green Belt and some of the northern most parts (numbered 028C) are in Conservation Area.

In paricular the need to focus future development along the trunk road corridors.
Existing infrastructure needs adapting along the A127 (top priority) and A12, rather than multiple incursions into lovely villages, surrounded by Green Belt.

Having homes built on this area will be of a huge detriment to the current inhabitants of this area. [Doddinghurst]. Light, Traffic and noise pollution would be untenable and the value of all of our properties will also suffer. I object to this hugely.

To use existing infrastructure adapted for the increase makes far more sense than to force an increase on villages and green belt that struggle with roads and transport, schools and communications as it is.

Change of use of the industrial site to housing is logical as it is a brownfield site. However, West Horndon villagers value their way of life and do not want to see a too great enlargement of the village.
Q1: Yes - The three areas have different requirements, so it seems logical to split them.
Q2: No - The A127 corridor is already at or over capacity in rush hours. If there is more building in this area, where will all the traffic go?
Q3: Yes - Change of use of the industrial site to housing is logical as it is a brownfield site. However, West Horndon villagers value their way of life and do not want to see a too great enlargement of the village.
Q4: A12 corridor. The A127 would need an extra lane to cater for additional traffic as a result of more housing. There may be room for more building but there is a big penalty in infrastructure.
Q5: Yes - There is more capacity in this area without too much penalty in future traffic requirements.
Q6: The Green Belt has been carefully protected in the past. Brownfield sites should be used where available.
Q7: Yes - Employment opportunities are necessary but they must be accessible by road or public transport.
Q8: Yes - Brentwood Council should reduce business rates and parking charges to encourage more people to shop in Brentwood instead of 'out of town supermarkets'.
Q9: Yes - West Horndon would benefit greatly from the provision of a footbridge over the A127 to enable the easier use of Thorndon Park.

There is no evidence to suggest that the spatial strategy contained within the PreferredOptions is no longer the most sustainable and deliverable option for accommodating future growth for Brentwood. Indeed, the requirement to provide for a greater level of growth should result in the determination to maximise the opportunities presented by West Horndon as a strategic growth location, including the opportunities presented by land to the south of the settlement.

There are a number of strategic matters that are identified in the SGO that are relevant to the determination of the most sustainable and deliverable options for the future development of the Borough. The review of planning, legal and technical matters confirms that the preferred options of the WHSGL is indeed the most sustainable and deliverable option. This is supported by the evidence base prepared by the Council and the Sustainability Appraisal of the SGO.

The review of planning, legal and technical matters confirms that the LPPO preferred option of the WHSGL is indeed the most sustainable and deliverable option. This is supported by the evidence base prepared by the Council and the Sustainability Appraisal of the SGO. It has determined that the sustainability of the West Hordon Strategic Growth Location can be further enhanced through the identification of further land to the south of the settlement for development. Indeed, in the interests of discharging its duties under the DTC, EA Strategic urges the Council to consider the opportunities presented by development south of the settlement and the benefits it can deliver.

This area cannot take this development either on brownfield sites or Green Belt land. Consider the risk of flooding.
Q1: Yes - It makes sense to spread the housing growth across the Borough.
Q2: No - The A127 is already overloaded as is the rail network Fenchurch Street to Southend. We value our open spaces as much as the people in the north of the borough.
Q3: Yes - This area cannot take this development either on brownfield sites or Green Belt land. Consider the risk of flooding.
Q4: To develop adjacent to this village (or over develop the industrial site) would destroy this village. It seems that Dunton Garden village is the ideal solution.
Q5: Yes - We feel that the A12 corridor has the most potential for growth.
Q6: Develop (within reason) brownfield sites.
Q7: Yes - But only if the strategic highway network can cope? Does the A127 fall into this category?
Q8: Yes - Consideration must be given to maintain town centre.
Q9: No - Unless desire is made to build on Green Belt the answer is NO. Certainly develop brownfield sites.

The SGO for West Horndon is presented as an alternative to Dunton Garden Suburb (DGS), providing the basis for promoting one option over the other. It may be that it is necessary to assume that both options are required as a minimum. If 1,500 dwellings are proposed at the WHSGL, of which 500 of the 2,500 brownfield homes are on the West Horndon Industrial Estate, and 1,000 are on the land controlled by EA Strategic, this would still leave a requirement for a minimum of a further 2,000 homes on greenfield sites in the Borough.
The most sustainable location for additional housing growth would be around the settlement of West Horndon, including access to the existing railway station, it is important that all of the options to accommodate this addition housing are assessed.

Q6: No to greenfield, yes to brownfield sites.
Q7: Yes.
Q8: Yes.
Q9: No - Many people visit Blackmore Village because it has history and also retains its identity and charm as a 'small village'. It is imperative that Blackmore village is kept as it is for future generations to enjoy. This village is surrounded by farmland and is not a continuation of Doddinghurst and this is how it should remain. Although some building has taken place over the last few years most villagers think that this is now enough!

The evidence base for the LPPO and the SGO confirms that the WHSGL is the most sustainable and deliverable option for the future growth of the Borough. The potential of the DGS in comparison is compromised by a number of significant factors.
West Horndon can be delivered more quickly, it includes brownfield land. It also provides the opportunity to meet the needs of the local community, deliver significant benefits to the local community and maximising the efficiency of investment in existing infrastructure.

Sites at West Horndon are deliverable. The land at West Horndon is available now. It has good road and rail access, existing local shops, existing employment opportunities and existing community facilities. It also provides opportunities to improve the settlement by diverting HGVs away from the centre, enhance the vitality and viability of the existing town centre shops and services, thereby strengthening the centre of West Horndon.

West Horndon. It is significant to note that CPRE in its response to the LPPO agreed with this assessment of the suitability of West Horndon, and went as far as saying that in its opinion "it will not be possible for anyone to identify superior candidate site(s) as judged by the necessary criteria".

The historical relevance of Blackmore is clear given it celebrated the founding 900 years ago of the Priory church of St Laurence in 2014 and the village is believed to have had connections with Henry VIII. Blackmore thrives upon a close community spirit. Additional housing proposed well in excess of 100 homes, would potentially dilute this, remove agricultural and grazing lands close to the village centre and make the village less attractive for tourists.

There are limited in-fill and brownfield development opportunities in Kelvedon Hatch and infrastructure is already hard pressed. It is important to retain the character of the village and I therefore do not support development of Eagle Field or any other open community space. There is some low-grade agricultural land on the edge of the village (e.g. the site identified as "north of Blackmore Rd") that could be released for proportionate development with provision for affordable housing both for the children of villagers who would wish to stay in the community and cannot currently afford to do so, and for younger families who would inject new vitality into the community, and sustain its school and local businesses.

Yes. Sites on the edge of towns should be considered first, with necessary infrastructure already in place. The addition of more houses in these already build up areas will cause less short and long term disruption than in small rural communities.

Execessive development along the A127 would not be good for the area and the A12 corridor should be reevaluated. Dunton Garden Suburb is preferred to all other sites along the A127. West Horndon and surrounding area along the A127 is very prone to flooding and further development will only make this worse.
