Q1: No. I object to any building on Green Belt.

Q2: No.

Q3: Yes. It is ok to build old factory sites. Do not build on Green Belt.

Q12: Yes. Brentwood is a good place to live. Brentwood does not need more houses.

Q1: Yes - Mainly.

Q2: Yes - We feel traffic congestion is getting worse and that new housing should be built within easy access of public transport.

Q3: We do not think it appropriate to build more houses in small rural villages like Blackmore because it will increase road congestion.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb would be the ideal location because of all the amenities that will be built within it.

Q5: No - This will only increase traffic on an already congested road unless money is available to widen the road.

Q6: No - People choose to live in our beautiful small villages because of the rural lifestyle and extra housing would ruin this and increase traffic on our narrow country lanes. Brownfield sites within Green Belt would be considered but only as a last resort.

Q7: No - The best approach would be to allocate new sites close to public transport as our roads are already too congested.

Q8: Yes - More retail shops in Brentwood High Street rather than bars and eating places.

Q9: No - Our village has good open space recreational facilities.

Q12: Improved public transport to enable easier commuting.

Q13: Road network improvement and repairs.

Q1: Yes - There are three areas north, centre, south.

Q2: No - South A127 corridor over used, C2C trains packed rush hour. Building on Green Belt that has historic flooding poor idea. No development of Shenfield area making use of Crossrail.

Q3: Yes - Development on brownfield site at West Horndon only. This alone will have major effect on village (infrastructure issues). No development on Green Belt, historic flood risk not fully appreciated.

Q4: I don't agree A127 has greater growth capacity, (other borough developments not considered in A127 capacity). Dunton Garden makes more sense than rest of proposals.

Q5: Yes - Park and ride to Crossrail hub has great potential.

Q6: Brownfield sites should be used first, i.e. Wash Road. Near Crossrail major hub. M25 Industrial site poor choice, road use only. No public transport.

Q7: Yes - Public transport must be accessible. Road use alone (poor idea).

Q8: Yes - Public transport to centre a must. A busy High Street a must for local and visitors to borough.

Q9: Yes - West Horndon Park could be better developed.

Q12: Yes - Over developed in south, West Horndon should not be doubled or trebled in size (Education, health, transport, flood risk not fully assessed!)

Q13: Public transport. Over reliant on roads.

Q1: Yes - The 3 different areas make sense.

Q2: No - Why does the A127 corridor have more potential than A12? The A127 is already at capacity in rush hour. We value our open space because we are nearer. The outer London boroughs and Green Belt is very important to us.

Q3: Yes - The brownfield site at West Horndon (the industrial estate) (A20-A21) which has a proposal for 500 would practically double the size of our village and this without any Green Belt development would alter the character of West Horndon. Flood risk must be taken seriously.

Q4: I do not agree with the statement, the A127 has a greater capacity than A12. Therefore feel that the only development around West Horndon should be the industrial estate (A20-21). Surely great development could occur in connection with new Crossrail line.

Q5: Yes - A12 corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of Borough's increased housing need. As does Crossrail corridor.

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be first choice for building needs. Green Belt land particularly south of the borough where we are enclosed between Upminster and Basildon is greatly valued both as open space and flood relief.

Q7: It has been suggested that the present industrial site in West Horndon be relocated to the junction of A127 and M25. This seems an excellent idea provided that transport links be established from West Horndon Station, for workforce who presently come by train.

Q8: Yes - But we do need better transports into the town centre particularly later in evening it isn't any good having late opening in Brentwood if we can't get back.

Q9: It would be good to have a sports centre on the land adjacent to the Industrial estate.

Q12: Education - West Horndon School is a village school. New schools would be needed to cope with any significant growth. The same would apply to health care difficult to get doctors appointment at present.

Q13: Infrastructure needs to be in place prior to any development.

Q1: Yes - However, we cannot understand why so much development has been mooted in the villages around the Borough. The resources in these semi rural areas like: school places, access to doctors surgery appointments and poor local public transport etc. do not seem to have been included in your draft. Will the Council be increasing spending on village infrastructure to take into account this massive influx of people into a small community?

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - Regarding site 143 Limes Grove/ Peartree Lane/ Peartree Close. There has been a draft application (?) entitled "Objection to Policy S2" circulated to local residents, some of this document is misleading, this plot is painted as a brownfield site with "run down, unused piggeries" - there have been sheep and goats in these buildings/ fields for numerous years.

This is currently Green Belt land. The building of the proposed 50 new houses would be totally out of scale with all other developments in Doddinghurst and would dramatically change the environment for the current residents in this area of the village.

Lime Grove is at present a small, no-through road which is only 4.8m wide, serving 100 homes. There is extensive on-street parking of residents vehicles which has increased markedly in the 20 years we have lived here. On road parking is heavy during "out of office" hours and especially weekends. The road is very congested with parked cars and access down the road for any delivery vans/lorries or emergency vehicles is very restricted. The waste collection lorry on Wednesday has to regularly drive up the kerbs onto the pavement to pass parked cars (damaging the verges and kerbs in the process), any additional traffic from the proposed development would only exacerbate this problem. The other access to the proposed site, Peartree Lane is little different.

Also site access for heavy vehicles during any construction phase would be dangerous to the residents of Lime Grove and Peartree Lane and access would be virtually impossible.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb.

Q5: Yes.

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be considered in advance of breaking ground on any Greenfield site. There are numerous brownfield sites, especially old trading estates, around our borough that could be recycled into housing areas.

Q7: Yes - And also close to the rail and bus network, shouldn't the council be encouraging public transport use rather than more cars on the already congested highway network?

Q8: Yes - However "superstores" should be sited away from the town centres to preserve the smaller traders.

Q12: Yes. We cannot have any more housing.

Q13: Do not need anymore infrastructure.

Q1: Yes - Splitting the borough into three areas of North, A12 Corridor and A127 Corridor would appear to make sense given the different characteristics of these areas.

Q2: No - Road and Rail infrastructure in the A127 Corridor is already over capacity during the rush hour. There would appear to be little scope to widen the road as new houses have already been built to the edge of the A127 whereas the A12 could potentially be expanded in a number of areas. The consultation document also implies that the A127 has greater development potential due to it having a "different landscape character". Whilst it does indeed have a different landscape character to say the North of the Borough, the local residents' value of the open space and farmland should not be considered any lower than residents of the North of the Borough. The open fenland should be considered any lower than residents of the North of the Borough. The open fenland landscape is valued extremely highly by local resident and contributes to an open rural feel to this area and local settlements. Flood risk is not addressed for any of the sites and it is clearly a major problem in the A127 Corridor and needs to be fully assessed prior to any decisions being made.

Q3: Yes - 020 and 021 are already in the 5 year land supply and are brownfield sites that could be developed. If the proposed 500 dwellings were to go ahead this could almost double the size of West Horndon village and would require major improvements to the infrastructure, including, roads, school, health care and public transport, as the current infrastructure would be inadequate to cope with the proposed new dwellings.

037A, B and C, 038A and B and 126 are all Greenbelt sites, development of these would change the existing West Horndon village beyond recognition putting a strain on residents and infrastructure. In addition the consultation document makes no reference to the major flooding problems that would occur if development took place on any of these sites.

200 I would support the Dunton Garden Suburb Site to provide the required housing level within the Borough, providing that the West Horndon community is safeguarded in an appropriate manner with a regard to infrastructure and a sufficient buffer of land maintained going forward.

Q4: I would question this statement that there is greater capacity for the A127 as opposed to the A12. Site 200, Dunton Garden Suburb, would create the least harm I believe. If it was undertaken in a sensitive manner site 200 has the potential to provide Brentwood Council with the required level of residential development, whilst creating a self-sufficient sustainable development with access to a level of infrastructure funding that would offer the best chance for a positive outcome for existing and new residents of the A127 Corridor. Whilst site 200 would be our preferred option, an appropriate buffer zone needs to be incorporated on the western edge of the development up to the A128 to prevent future urban creep and minimize the impact of development on existing residents. Development of the land immediately adjacent to the village would destroy the current village environment. In addition, Brentwood Borough Council must use the duty to cooperate to negotiate with other authorities to prevent development taking place in Thurrock to the south of West Horndon. Such development would also cause harm similar to that identified for sites 037, 038 and 126.

Q5: Yes - Given the level of projected housing needed with the Borough, the A12 Corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of the increased housing needs and suitable sites should be included in any spatial strategy.

Q6: Where there are available, suitable sites, brownfield should always be considered above Greenfield sites. There may be instances where the release of small amounts of Green Belt land around villages provides opportunities for these villages to grow in a sustainable manner. However, this should only be considered once brownfield options have been exhausted and where the development would create a positive and balanced impact on the community. Releasing all of the Green Belt land around West Horndon village for example would not create a positive or balanced impact on to the existing community. There may be some isolated instances where limited development in the Green Belt provides benefits which exceed the harm they cause. e.g. in West Horndon the current access to the park is limited. A small amount of development which improves the access is an example of such a possible development.

Q7: Yes - With the industrial estates at West Horndon expected to be developed for primary residential development it is imperative that replacement employment opportunities are provided within the A127 Corridor, which should be accessible via public transport as well as road.

Q8: Yes - Apart from the need for local shops in villages, primary shopping locations should be focused within Town Centres. However, Town Centre First retail development should be preceded by both reliable and regular public transport links to all, including the more rural locations, car parking facilities and road network improvements.

Q9 Yes - West Horndon village currently benefits from a small community park. As part of any potential future development both within the village and the Dunton Garden Suburb there is significant opportunities to enhance this park from a facilities and access perspective.

Q12: Yes - Development must not increase the challenges to the borough's infrastructure i.e. it must be small enough not to create a significant demand on current infrastructure or big enough to generate money to create/improve infrastructure to meet the new need. 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. This will need to consider both the impact of Brentwood and Basildon's development along the Shoeburyness to Fenchurch Street rail line and other local councils looking to develop along this line as well (significant knock-on impact that may not be considered by looking at just Brentwood and Basildon's plans alone). It also needs to consider how residents of the Dunton Garden Suburb (ifdeveloped) travel to West Horndon, Laindon and Basildon and how West Horndon village residents travel to the Dunton Garden Suburb, Brentwood and Basildon town centres. 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. 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 this specific road. In addition to transport, education, healthcare, community facilities and green infrastructure are all identified as significant infrastructure considerations. The detail on these within the consultation document is limited and significantly more detail will be necessary to ensure future development is carried out sustainably. Timing of infrastructure needs to have a stronger focus than 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.

Q13: Given the scale of development proposed within the A127 Corridor, whilst there will be priorities the development will require infrastructure spending across all categories (education, healthcare, transport, green space and community facilities etc.) and is of paramount importance, failure to provide any one element of infrastructure will have a materially negative impact on both the existing residents and new development. As such, whilst there may be priorities in areas where development is expected to be lower/less significant, in areas expected to see high levels of development, a holistic infrastructure plan needs to be delivered to ensure development is undertaken in a sustainable manner.

Q1: Yes - Splitting the borough into three areas of North, A12 Corridor and A127 Corridor would appear to make sense given the different characteristics of these areas.

Q2: No - Road and Rail infrastructure in the A127 Corridor is already over capacity during the rush hour.

It also needs to consider how residents of the Dunton Garden Suburb (ifdeveloped) travel to West Horndon, Laindon and Basildon and how West Horndon village residents travel to the Dunton Garden Suburb, Brentwood and Basildon town centres. 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. 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 this specific road. In addition to transport, education, healthcare, community facilities and green infrastructure are all identified as significant infrastructure considerations. The detail on these within the consultation document is limited and significantly more detail will be necessary to ensure future development is carried out sustainably. Timing of infrastructure needs to have a stronger focus than 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.

Q13: Given the scale of development proposed within the A127 Corridor, whilst there will be priorities the development will require infrastructure spending across all categories (education, healthcare, transport, green space and community facilities etc.) and is of paramount importance, failure to provide any one element of infrastructure will have a materially negative impact on both the existing residents and new development. As such, whilst there may be priorities in areas where development is expected to be lower/less significant, in areas expected to see high levels of development, a holistic infrastructure plan needs to be delivered to ensure development is undertaken in a sustainable manner.

Q1: Yes - Splitting the borough into three areas of North, A12 Corridor and A127 Corridor would appear to make sense given the different characteristics of these areas.

Q2: No - Road and Rail infrastructure in the A127 Corridor is already over capacity during the rush hour. There would appear to be little scope to widen the road as new houses have already been built to the edge of the A127 whereas the A12 could potentially be expanded in a number of areas. The consultation document also implies that the A127 has greater development potential due to it having a "different landscape character". Whilst it does indeed have a different landscape character to say the North of the Borough, the local residents' value of the open space and farmland should not be considered any lower than residents of the North of the Borough. The open fenland should be considered any lower than residents of the North of the Borough. The open fenland landscape is valued extremely highly by local resident and contributes to an open rural feel to this area and local settlements. Flood risk is not addressed for any of the sites and it is clearly a major problem in the A127 Corridor and needs to be fully assessed prior to any decisions being made.

Q3: Yes - 020 and 021 are already in the 5 year land supply and are brownfield sites that could be developed. If the proposed 500 dwellings were to go ahead this could almost double the size of West Horndon village and would require major improvements to the infrastructure, including, roads, school, health care and public transport, as the current infrastructure would be inadequate to cope with the proposed new dwellings.

037A, B and C, 038A and B and 126 are all Greenbelt sites, development of these would change the existing West Horndon village beyond recognition putting a strain on residents and infrastructure. In addition the consultation document makes no reference to the major flooding problems that would occur if development took place on any of these sites.

200 I would support the Dunton Garden Suburb Site to provide the required housing level within the Borough, providing that the West Horndon community is safeguarded in an appropriate manner with a regard to infrastructure and a sufficient buffer of land maintained going forward.

Q4: I would question this statement that there is greater capacity for the A127 as opposed to the A12. Site 200, Dunton Garden Suburb, would create the least harm I believe. If it was undertaken in a sensitive manner site 200 has the potential to provide Brentwood Council with the required level of residential development, whilst creating a self-sufficient sustainable development with access to a level of infrastructure funding that would offer the best chance for a positive outcome for existing and new residents of the A127 Corridor. Whilst site 200 would be our preferred option, an appropriate buffer zone needs to be incorporated on the western edge of the development up to the A128 to prevent future urban creep and minimize the impact of development on existing residents. Development of the land immediately adjacent to the village would destroy the current village environment. In addition, Brentwood Borough Council must use the duty to cooperate to negotiate with other authorities to prevent development taking place in Thurrock to the south of West Horndon. Such development would also cause harm similar to that identified for sites 037, 038 and 126.

Q5: Yes - Given the level of projected housing needed with the Borough, the A12 Corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of the increased housing needs and suitable sites should be included in any spatial strategy.

Q6: Where there are available, suitable sites, brownfield should always be considered above Greenfield sites. There may be instances where the release of small amounts of Green Belt land around villages provides opportunities for these villages to grow in a sustainable manner. However, this should only be considered once brownfield options have been exhausted and where the development would create a positive and balanced impact on the community. Releasing all of the Green Belt land around West Horndon village for example would not create a positive or balanced impact on to the existing community. There may be some isolated instances where limited development in the Green Belt provides benefits which exceed the harm they cause. e.g. in West Horndon the current access to the park is limited. A small amount of development which improves the access is an example of such a possible development.

Q7: Yes - With the industrial estates at West Horndon expected to be developed for primary residential development it is imperative that replacement employment opportunities are provided within the A127 Corridor, which should be accessible via public transport as well as road.

Q8: Yes - Apart from the need for local shops in villages, primary shopping locations should be focused within Town Centres. However, Town Centre First retail development should be preceded by both reliable and regular public transport links to all, including the more rural locations, car parking facilities and road network improvements.

Q9 Yes - West Horndon village currently benefits from a small community park. As part of any potential future development both within the village and the Dunton Garden Suburb there is significant opportunities to enhance this park from a facilities and access perspective.

Q12: Yes - Development must not increase the challenges to the borough's infrastructure i.e. it must be small enough not to create a significant demand on current infrastructure or big enough to generate money to create/improve infrastructure to meet the new need. 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. This will need to consider both the impact of Brentwood and Basildon's development along the Shoeburyness to Fenchurch Street rail line and other local councils looking to develop along this line as well (significant knock-on impact that may not be considered by looking at just Brentwood and Basildon's plans alone).

Q12: Yes - Existing traffic over capacity of A128 between A127 and Brentwood.

Q1: No - The continual suggested large scale developments of predominantly greenbelt land is unacceptable. The small villages of Brentwood are historic and do not need developing into an inner city style extension of London.

Q2: No - The tone of wording used suggests small developments in villages with minimal use of Green Belt land, however, this does not match up with the proposed sites, with for example 028C and 192 large areas of Green Belt with thousands of proposed new houses. Your presenting of issues is done disingenuously.

Q3: Yes - Again to ref 028C and 192. An area of largely Green Belt land the size of Shenfield and Hutton combined put forward for development?! This is not 'allowing villages to grow to meet local need' it is turning rural environment into a large urban area. Villages aren't growing they are being absorbed into a new town.

Q4: A127 growth corridor. Largely due to the fact that there is only one settlement there however, again scale of development is key; adding another village the size of Ingrave is not unreasonable, creating a town the size of Shenfield is.

Q5: No - Releasing sites on the edges of urban areas and turning all the land between two towns into housing are two different things. I would say yes however, the developments being suggested are so large that they cannot be described as sites on urban edges but entire new towns. Again your presenting of the question is divisive and disingenuous.

Q6: Green field sites should not be used, that is the point of them being greenfield, they are natural land preserved; not for development. So brownfield sites only.

Q7: Yes - Which further supports my point that sites should be kept to a minimum in size; to reduce congestion on the current network.

Q8: Yes - But it is vital that we do not lose the historic look of our town centre or build in a way that does not fit with the aesthetic of the town.
