Q1: No - Small villages north of the A12 do not have adequate transport links. Increasing housing in Blackmore by 10% will change the aesthetics of the village forever and consequently will no longer be a village.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - Blackmore - Sewage capacity unavailable at one of these sites. Phone lines are at capacity at Orchard Piece. The Primary School is at capacity. The village roads are not able to cope with increased car use. The wildlife will suffer - barn owls, little owls and tawny owls all present behind Orchard Piece.

Q4: The A127 corridor. It contains the single settlement of Horndon and not several and the A12 and nor them villages cannot cope with any more traffic congestion, including Brentwood through the town and Ongar Road. Services would suffer more and they are already strained.

Q5: No - Again, services and infrastructure in these surrounding areas are already at or over coping capacity. The towns and villages around these areas are developed enough, the traffic is always built up, roads unable to cope, queues into small towns built up throughout the day, schools already at capacity, services full and don't run enough.

Q6: Neither option is preferable, constraining opportunity for growth is a need in some places to preserve our Green Belt land, its wildlife, asset to villages and landscape character. The areas just aren't suitable, already constrained transport links, sewage at capacity, phone lines at capacity, schools at capacity, wildlife already suffering in the UK. The areas could not cope!

Q7: Between Thurrock, Basildon and Havering where highways and towns are less congested than A12 and north, perhaps.

Q8: Yes.

Q9: No.

Q12: Brentwood Borough is beautiful and attractive because of its rural areas and wildlife. Please don't take this away and squander its environment and the quality of life it offers by developing the areas considered treasures to so many.

Q13: Green infrastructure.

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.

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.
