Representation Summary:

More consideration needs to be given to the impact on the C2C line and the A128 plus the need for public transport to connect West Horndon and Basildon to the Garden Suburb. Provision of additional edication, healthcare, community facilities and green open spaces need to be put in place before any development takes place.

Q1: Yes - However I am totally against the use of any Green Belt land.

Q2: No - The present A127 is inadequate for the volume of rush hour traffic as is the C2C service and parking at West Horndon station and you will remember we have had our flooding problems.

Q3: Yes - Why should the south side of Brentwood be singled out for expansion and not the A127 corridor?

Q4: I would like to point out that should the WH brownfield site be used for development the existing company (if moved) would find it very difficult to replace staff as many come by train.

Q5: I suggest they should be treated equally to the A127 corridor.

Q6: As commented earlier the Green Belt/ Greenfield sites were set to prevent urban sprawl.

Q7: Think this is covered by previous comments.

Q8: In the case of West Horndon, although Brentwood rate payers we have no reliable bus service and exorbitant parking charges in the Town Centre compared to parts of Havering.

No - What infrastructures / there are none in the 2x areas in Blackmore. These are farmlands with horses etc.

Full text:

Q1: No - I agree there should be areas earmarked but not in the Blackmore village areas.

Q2: Yes - Apart from Blackmore.

Q3: The two sites in Blackmore are not suitable. i.e. Provisions of services. The sites are and make the village enclosed by nature and not a large volume of new houses.

Q5: No - Most of these areas are Green Belt hence I do not agree to accommodate.

Q6: Preferably Green Belt not on the area of villages.

Q7: Yes - But separate sites to villages and for school / medical to be more self contained. Water / sewage etc.

Q8: Yes - I agree that unused or not new sites in towns could contain more town accommodation.

Q9: No - A village is a special place to live, selected by people who want this environment. To provide open space will transform our village to town. The traveller have not been needed. This seems our land contribution.

Q13: Don't understand the question.
I agree areas must be earmarked but I would like to see new small towns built. i.e. Harlow / Aylesbury etc. Not in rural villages which occupants settled expecting what they see/have. Not an overgrowth of people who could go elsewhere like NEW TOWNS. Very much against Blackmore considerations.

Expansion of roads, etc. is impossible as the villags of Ingatestone & Mountnessing are fully developed. Anymore traffic on A12 makes it worse and cannot cope with more development.

Representation Summary:

Rail link to London, Norwich and Southend. Not sure what % of people travelling out of Borough to work go by train, bus, A12 or A127.

Full text:

Q1: Yes.

Q2: No - Better transport connections such as a new A road could be incorporated into a development north of the borough. So this should be seen as a requirement of such a development not a disadvantage of it.

Q3: Yes - I think we should separate brownfield sites into disused or redundant industrial land whose development would improve the town's attractiveness and garden develop which would diminish the town.

Q4: Around West Horndon, south of the A127 so as to concentrate the development. Not have a large area partly developed and partly greenfield.

Q5: No - It would start eroding the separation between different communities e.g. Brentwood merging with M25, Shenfield starting to merge with Mountnessing.

Q6: Neither is sustainable over medium to long term, so I think the Council should be clearer about the sustainable growth that the borough can accommodate.

Q7: No - A12 and A127 are close to capacity at rush hour. There is a need for more transport capacity. It would be good if it was sustainable, but how?

Q8: No - The trend is towards local shopping as seen in developments by major supermarkets. It is probably more environmentally friendly to shop locally rather than in town centre.

Q9: Yes - The land/ woods north west of St Mary's school could be made into an urban park.

Representation Summary:

Yes. At present cars from Laindon, Basildon are parked in West Horndon Station which is at full capacity. The Garden Suburb could turn West Horndon into a massive car park.

Full text:

Q1: No. The A12 Corridor seems to have been overlooked for development potential, and a large emphasis put on the A127 Corridor.

Q2: No. With the development of housing further down the A127 towards Southend, road and rail services are already running at capacity. Road noise now starts at 4am not 5am anymore.

Q3: To sustain even a moderate level of growth to West Horndon more upgrading of amenities would need to occur (i.e. schools, railway and dangerous junctions for a start).

Q4: Although Dunton Garden Suburb is a preferred location it seems there is a need to force a rail franchise to build a new station. Given the financial constraint on them I doubt this is possible.

Q5: Yes. As there are several hamlets to the north of Brentwood there could be gradual developments of these linking to Ongar Station and the A12 with new A-roads developed.

Q6: Brownfield sites are always preferable, but better access to the A416 and linking the hamlets would give a more sustainable solution and reduce impact on the community.

Q7: Yes. The road network to the A12 has to be developed.

Q8: Yes. Better transport networks need to be put in place to rural areas.

Q9: Yes. A footbridge across the A127 would greatly improve aces for families.

Q12: Yes. At present cars from Laindon, Basildon are parked in West Horndon Station which is at full capacity. The Garden Suburb could turn West Horndon into a massive car park.

Q13: Improved rail (the Council have no control over). Improved roads (the Council have no control over). Improved health (the Council have no control over). Improved schools (need new built to accommodate additions). Improved communications (at present no upgrade).

With Councils along the A127 Corridor having the same problems a solution to develop the A12 Corridor would seem a more sensible option, especially now with Crossrail development.

Representation Summary:

No - Blackmore village would be left in a dilemma, the roads, local school and bus services to our nearest towns would cause chaos. 100 new homes could mean at least 300 people. There is no infrastructure in place to accommodate so many people.

Full text:

Q1: I understand the need for new homes and feel that any building sites need the infrastructure to cope with new families in the village of Blackmore. There are no companies that could accommodate the new families.

Q2: The Dunton Suburb will have the infrastructure to cope with the needs of the new families. Regarding schools, travelling to and from work, shopping and leisure.

Q3: Yes - Blackmore village is unique in being a rural village the impact of over 100 homes is not going to help the local community in any way. The infrastructure of the village roads to accommodate the huge increase in vehicles will make the small roads very unsafe and dangerous. The local school would be unable to cope with the extra children and new families would be struggling to get to trains to travel to work. As there are not any jobs in our local community and as a village we just wouldn't be able to cope, the appropriateness of Blackmore village is nil.

Q4: At the Dunton Garden Suburb construction the new families will have a lot more freedom to choose schools for their children, access to shopping centres and leisure facilities, with more job opportunities. The infrastructure already being in place for families to travel.

Q5: As already stated new families moving into new areas need access to a variety of needs it depends on transportation to access their ability to do this.

Q6: No - Apart from losing our countryside which is very important new families would struggle without the infrastructure of new schools, bus services, leisure facilities and new job opportunities.

Q7: Yes - The infrastructure already being in place gives the new families greater flexibility in finding a job.

Q8: Yes - Retail development in town centres is very important, creating jobs and economic growth.

Q9: No - Blackmore village's open space provision is more than adequate allowing families to enjoy recreational activities.

Q1: No.

Q2: No. See evidence on West Horndon. Very busy traffic already through West Horndon plus much flooding on roads and fields with heavy rain.

Q3: Yes. Housing future needs is a matter for the whole of Brentwood, not just the quiet small village of West Horndon. On moving here 57 years ago we had only a train and so set about getting built our church and village hall plus school, all we needed. Any other building would change West Horndon beyond recognition.

Q4: As far away as possible from the Green Belt of West Horndon.

Q5: As long as far away from West Horndon, which needs to remain as it is: a quiet village providing all we need.

Q6: Once you release Green Belt land any builders will have a precedent to keep appealing to build on the land.

Q7: No. It depends, there is plenty of employment already in the village.

Q8: No. No point if housing mainly south of the A127, unreliable bus service.

Representation Summary:

It should be noted that much of the infrastructure in the area is already nearing breaking point; this includes roads, trains, education and health care. Development must not increase the challenges to the borough's infrastructure.

Whilst transport is considered, the focus appears to be on Crossrail and links to Brentwood Town Centre. Although important, given the scale of potential development within the A127 Corridor, a completely fresh transport strategy needs to be developed for this area.

Transport strategies will need to consider both the impact of Brentwood and Basildon's development along the c2c rail line, and other local councils, such as Southend and Castle Point, looking to develop along this line as well.

The transport strategy will also need to incorporate regular public transport to local employment locations given the potential redevelopment of the West Horndon industrial estates.

Representation Summary:

From a road perspective, the consultation document focuses heavily on the A12 and A127. However the A128 links these two roads, and importantly links the south of the Borough to Brentwood Town Centre (including related infrastructure, importantly, secondary schools). Any development within the A127 or A12 corridors will need to consider how to alleviate what will become intolerable strain on the A128.

Representation Summary:

Detail on identified infrastructure areas: education, healthcare, community facilities and green spaces is limited. Significantly more detail will be necessary to ensure future development is carried out sustainably.

Timing of infrastructure needs to have a stronger focus that currently seen in the consultation. Given the scale of potential development within the A127 Corridor, supporting infrastructure needs to be in place first, to prevent a significant and materially negative impact on existing residents. This will also ensure that any new development is undertaken in a sustainable manner.

Q1: No. Forced by central Government against the wishes of the consensus, but who cares about local democracy unless it suits.

Q2: Yes, if you mean people don't want or need these developments, only landowners and developers.

Q3: Yes. As always, we fill in the Green Belt when the more expensive brownfield sites are deliberately overlooked by developers because houses sell better in villages for higher prices.

Q4: What capacity? The road can't cope now but the developers won't have to worry about that as we will pay for upgrades by taxation.

Q5: No. More traffic, that's what we need on our already choked roads. How ridiculous.

Q6: Only brownfield sites.

Representation Summary:

Yes - Quality of life.

Full text:

Q1: Yes - We strongly oppose inappropriate development in the Green Belt except in exceptional circumstances where benefits clearly outweigh the harm and we also support the view that housing need alone does not constitute exceptional benefit.

Q2: No - Road, rail in the A127 corridor is already at capacity and the village of West Horndon is often used as a rat run. The A127 does on occasion get flooded and this can cause unnecessary flooding in the village.

Q3: Yes - The future housing need should be spread over the whole of Brentwood and appropriate transport and necessary infrastructure supplied.

Q4: We question the statement that the A127 has greater capacity than the A12. Should the Dunton site be chosen it would enable potential residential development in and around West Horndon village to be limited to the existing industrial brown field sites. Should any firm wish to move, given that staff are either local or come by train for those that actually own their own sites.

Q5: Yes - Brentwood Council should consider all sites.

Q6: This is just what the fraternity of builders want, once given you have set a precedent. Brownfield first please.

Q7: No - Not necessarily. The highway network will not be good if staff cannot get there and public transport is unavailable.

Q8: Yes - But regular and reliable public transport to all areas, including Dunton and West Horndon will be necessary to use it.

Q9: No - Already taken.

Q1: No - We do not have the infrastructure i.e. schools/ health services/ transport/ water/ waste services

Q2: Do not understand the question! Which issues? Could not work it out from website.

Q3: Yes - They all will spoil the peaceful village and the reason I chose to live here. I wanted to be part of such a community and not a town.

Q4: I would prefer the A127 corridor as it has better access links with services and roads. Would prefer neither in reality.

Q5: Yes - As villages are rural and unique. If they grow they change identity from a village to a small town. This will be irreversible and change Britain.

Q1: No infrastructure i.e. schools/ health services/ transport/ water/ waste/ roads/ shops.

Q2: Do not understand the question! Poor wording! Looked at web site consultation and still could not understand.

Q3: Yes - Will spoil the village/ community and reason I like living here. I chose this rural community as did not want to live in a town.

Q4: I would prefer new houses were built elsewhere such as A127 as it has better infrastructure and links to services and roads. However not in favour of this new building either.

Q5: Yes - Better to build there than in rural places such as Blackmore. Need to preserve the rural unique way of life. If we change to a town it will change community and a part of our heritage will go for future generations.

Q6: No to greenfield sites, they were intended to be protected for a reason. Nature will be endangered. Not happy with brownfield sites either not a good site for housing due to chemicals.

Q7: Yes - Need to be near major roads and railways.

Q8: Yes - Do not want village life community to disappear for future generations. This is not progress.

Q9: No - Need to keep our green fields natural and for recreation.

Yes. Schools, medical practices, transport of all description.

Q1: Yes. Infrastructure is vital - roads and trains are at full capacity, more traffic, where will it go? Plus park for West Horndon station (this being full most days).

Q2: Understand the need for some housing development in West Horndon but consideration must be taken into account that West Horndon was mainly built on flood plain (hence the reason our houses had to be piled).

Q4: I have lived in West Horndon for 58 years and use of land for building purposes would definitely increase the flood risk (no one wants a home that has a high potential for flooding!)

Q5: No.

Q6: Develop brownfield sites as far as practical and maintain a reasonable size Green Belt all around the village of West Horndon.

Q7: No. Difficult question - new road structure seems to be inevitable - there are only so many vehicles can use a road at any time.

Q8: No.

Q9: No. One park used by children and adults.
