Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - See answer to questions 5 and 6.

Q4: Agree with the comments especially in the light of the Dunton Garden Suburb proposal which would seem to be the ideal growth solution.

Q5: Yes - But only after careful consideration of the sites impact on the Green Belt.

Q6: No - Any development in respect of the villages should be contained within the existing envelopes of these villages which in almost all respects have reached their capacity for growth. That apart from a few brownfield sites within the existing village boundaries i.e. no encroachment onto the Green Belt. Site nos 76 and 77 on the outskirts of Blackmore are in the Green Belt and should therefore NOT be considered for development.

Q7: Yes - Essential for the growth of new business.

Q8: Yes - Essential for the benefit of the Town Centre's future.

Q9: No - Blackmore has over the years maintained and interested in open space provision which is now, to the credit of the Parish Council proved to be more than adequate.

Q1: No - The proposed amount of new houses is preposterous. It will have a massive impact on greenfield sites, roads, schools etc will be unable to cope with large numbers of new houses and the people who live in them.

Q2: No - No, I find it insulting that these enormous issues are being planned without our approval and blessing. No doubt greedy developers are rubbing their hands with glee at the profits to be made.

Q3: Yes - Villages like Herongate and Ingrave would be totally unable to cope with a large influx of new housing. There are no facilities to cope with the extra children, cars etc.

Q4: Land between West Horndon and Laindon.

Q5: Yes - Yes, but in moderation.

Q6: Develop brownfield sites only.

Q7: Yes - Within reason! Yes.

Q8: Yes - Not so many restaurants and pubs but a vibrant High Street with a good variety of shops. Also keep the multi-storey car park. Otherwise the Ongar Road will be constantly blocked with traffic.

Q9: No - We are within easy reach of greenfield sites and woodland, I hope this will always remain like this.

Q12: Yes - The proposed amount of housing is far too high, the infrastructure cannot possibly cope with this! Pressurise the government to reduce this amount.

Q13: Improve buses and make them more frequent.

Q5: Yes - All developments should be in keeping with local needs and "blend in".

Q6: Develop brownfield sites.

Q7: Yes - Provided the highway network is well maintained and modified to meet increased needs.

Q8: Yes - "Core need" should be met in the town centre other needy services on the fringe.

Q12: Yes - 'Style' green spaces, public transport, local community cohesion. By this I mean meeting the needs of young/old.

Q13: Look at what makes Brentwood a attractive for, living in, leisure, work, education, health, open spaces, and make sure you protect and improve.

Q1: Yes.

Q2: No - Just because the "Fenland Landscape" in the A127 corridor is different from north of the Borough. It is no less valuable as landscape. Flood risk in West Horndon is a serious problem. Has the safety of the Thorndon Park dam been considered.

Q3: Yes - The great enlargement of West Horndon will require greater sewerage provision. All F.W. is pumped by rising main and 30+ year old pumps of limited capacity to the sewage works miles away. S.W. is also partly into the system in flood times. There have been 5 floods since 1962. See Q12.

Q4: Before a decision is made to develop at West Horndon, the flood risk must be assessed and solutions found to reduce it to an acceptable level. Land in flood risk areas should not be developed.

Q5: Yes.

Q6: Only when brownfield sites are used up should greenfield/ Green Belt land be developed.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes.

Q9: The park in Cadogan Avenue, West Horndon is little used. Access for vehicles is non existent and will be very difficult to provide from village roads.

Q12: No - West Horndon flooding. Stream from Thorndon Park flows around the village and under the railway. SW drains flow also under the railway all on to flat farmland. It is unlikely that extra SW can be got away quicker. Flood insurance in parts of West Horndon is not available.

Q13: Studies in detail of foul and surface water requirements, with design and cost estimates improvements to road access to A127 and A128 before development in West Horndon is permitted.

Q1: Yes. Accept there is a need for growth but not to alter existing small community villages.

Q2: No.

Q3: A large space near to A127 which does not effect the living conditions of a small village community seems a more acceptable choice to progress development. [site ref 200]

Q4: Dunton site. [site ref 200]

Q5: Yes. The old scrap yard of the A12 towards Mountnessing has yet to be developed? [site ref 107]

Q6: Better to develop independent sites on edges with access to highway network.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes. With a fair mix of shops retail not just restaurants and bars.

Comment form and letter submitted, see attached.

Q1: Yes - They have different aspects, so yes.

Q2: No - Flooding is a problem on the A127 corridor. The A127 is busier than the A12 and the A12 has more potential for development. The open farmland of the A127 is not inferior to that elsewhere in the borough, how has this conclusion been reached?

Q3: Yes - 037 A, B and C and 126 are all Green Belt surrounding the village. If the industrial estates are developed, the 400+ houses proposed there will increase West Horndon by 70%. To build on the surrounding Green Belt as well would be inappropriate development and damaging to the local environment. Flooding would also be a major issue.

Q4: Site 200 - Dunton Garden Suburb should be developed in preference to the fields surrounding West Horndon (037, 038 & 126). Infrastructure must be established, and a buffer zone around West Horndon should be put in place to preserve the village.

Q5: Yes - As Brentwood needs so many houses, all suitable sites along the A12 should be considered. Why should it be centred around West Horndon and the A127?

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be considered in preference to Greenfield. Green Belt should be preserved.

Q7: Yes - From an environmental view as well as the practical view, this makes sense, although public transport must be provided.

Q8: Yes - Good public transport links are essential to ensure economic sustainability in the established town centres. Ease of car park facilities should also be a priority.

Q9: Yes - We have a small park at present. With the likely development of the new industrial sites and the potential development of DSG, more open space will be required for the village, certainly not less.

Q12: Yes - The A128 will be heavily impacted by any development and this should also be considered for upgrading.

Q13: My priorities would be transport, health and education, which should be in place before the developments need them!
Other comments: Dunton Garden Suburb is my preferred option.
