Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - It would seem logical to adopt the A127 corridor option especially if co-operation is obtained with Basildon council's plans. However as I do not know the area well my opinion may well be in conflict with the opinion of West Horndon residents! Some limited development could be possible north of the borough but only limited because the transportation links, schools, sewage etc.

Q4: A127 corridor if this can be reasonably achieved.

Q5: Yes.

Q6: Ideally brownfield sites.

Q7: Yes.

Q8: Yes - However, there is a need to retain existing retail shops in the wider area e.g. in villages to maintain the accessibility and character. Losing shops in the villages would be a disaster for local inhabitants.

Q9: Yes - Yes there would be if the sites at the top of the Woollard Way and Orchard Piece were turned into an allotment area or nature reserve! The agricultural land must be preserved at all costs.

Q13: Road upkeep. Healthcare provision in the villages. Education. But must maintain Green Belt, recreation facilities, green infrastructure. See p.31 section 6.9.
N.B. Not infrastructure but NB the Bus Service must go to the health centres. Old people are dependent on public transport.

Consultation Comments: I would like to protest in the strongest possible terms at the short timescale for completion of this questionnaire. It was only distributed towards the end of this week i.e. 12/02/15 with insufficient and inaccurate supporting information.

Q1: No - Not all areas seem appropriate.

Q2: Cannot comment on all areas.

Q3: Yes - Blackmore - This is an historic village. It is a village with a small school, which must already be under pressure, having had to take in the Travellers children. The doctors surgery is I would think under pressure too. There is no land to extend the school where it is.

Q4: Where there are towns not villages.

Q6: The fields in Blackmore should remain it's parcel of Green Belt. These have been used for grazing (cows and horses) and should remain as such for future use. The centre village has one shop and no ground for building on. Parking there is a problem from 8.30am each day onward.

Q7: Building in a town area seems to be the most sensible idea. Working people prefer to be near bus and train networks this is certainly not the case in Blackmore.

Q8: Yes - Certainly.

Q9: No, Blackmore is a small village but to start extending the population you would end up by having to build a larger school, more shops etc and end up turning this village who's history includes a 900 year old church and history of Henry VIII's son back here into a town.

Q12: Yes - Consideration of the people who live in the areas you have high lighted.

Q13: To build in areas which are already built up areas.

Q1: Yes - For the purpose of breaking down into more manageable areas.

Q2: Yes - But with reservations, brownland that's Green Belt land should not be released because it cause misuse of land for building.

Q3: Yes - 143 Land east of Peartree Lane and north of Peartree Close access to these dwellings would be via Peartree Lane and Lime Grove, this means that there will be substantially more traffic on our quiet roads along with significant noise and light pollution from the dwellings.

Q4: The Dunton Garden Suburb make sense got all amenities without effecting the neighbourhood.

Q5: Yes - Within reason the A12 corridor has a number of areas that could be developed.

Q6: This is not a good option and it will destroy the character of the village that surrounds of Brentwood.

Q7: Yes - If its on the M25/A127 but away from minor roads which are already in poor state of repair.

Q8: Yes - Brentwood Town Centre needs much better shops if its to justify the expensive parking as Lakeside parking is free.

Q9: No - In the area were farms and walkways foot paths, on foot is not issue.

Q12: No - What about broadband or power supplies the area has very bad reception for broadband.

Q13: The infrastructure should be funded on houses being built and spent on the area being developed not other areas.

Q1: Yes and No - Some.

Q2: Yes and No - Some.

Q3: Yes - Land west of Laindon, Basildon and East of West Horndon does not infringe on residential properties and has easy access to London.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb.

Q5: No - No room for improved services. No easy access.

Q6: No - Villages already at maximum. Doctors surgery unable to take more patients. Schools at full capacity.

Q7: No - Any employment requires a good transport system both from and to Brentwood not really in existence yet.

Q8: Yes - Majority of local empty shops are owned by out-of-town landlords - rents are too high! Further scope exists within the town for retail development.

Q9: No - Any further development in any of the villages would completely spoil the nature of a "village" only one plot of land available in Hook End - Land at Outings Lane.

Q12: Yes - Electricity, gas, water. Schools. Doctors Surgery. Drainage System = Very poor.

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.

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.

Q3: The possible development of the land to the south of Rayleigh Road A129 between Haverings Grove and Church Lane Hutton and extending southwards to include Creasey's Farm poses problems. 028C and 192 refer.

Without knowledge of the size of such a development predictions are difficult. But this would mean a step in the "in filling" between Hutton and Billericay creating a virtual ribbon development, a retrograde step.

Any development would result in increased traffic on the A129 and especially through Shenfield which is very congested especially at peak times. The increased load on the public transport system i.e. the railway stations at both Shenfield and Billericay must result in increased parking demand. There would inevitably, given it's outstanding performance and reputation, be an increase in demand for places at St Martin's school and one only has to visit Hanging Hill Lane in peak times to see how bad it is as present. No doubt there would be assurances that the problem will be covered but from past experience one can only be apprehensive about that.

The other aspect of any development there is environmental.

One only has to be in Hall Green Lane on a sunny or just bright Sunday, be it winter or summer, to see many families of all ages walking or cycling up to the Blue Bell woods. But it is not just the woods they want to see it is the wonderful views across open country, the peacefulness (no traffic) young children can walk along safely and there is the friendly rapport between people that results. Where else in the area can you see such views with so few buildings and no traffic in sight? To lose all of that would be a shame on all of us.

I realise that you have the problem of finding land to provide homes for people and would not wish to be NIMBY.

Q4: Not really familiar with the area.

Q5: 2) With regard to the A12 proposal.

Presumably as the A12 is a Trunk Road and therefore the responsibility of the Dept. of Transport/ Highways Agency they would have the final say.

The possibility of a new junction or connection to the local highway network might not be viewed very favourably by them especially, if what I read in the local highway network might not be viewed very favourably by them especially, if what I read in the local press about the bad accident record on the A12 is true and the lack of spare capacity (talk of widening to dual 3 lanes). The use of land adjacent to Sawyers Hall Lane might be an alternative as would a link to the Brentwood Leisure Centre although of course there are a number of sports facilities on that side of the A12.

I regret that I seem to be rather negative about the Options and realise that you have a seemingly impossible task in pleasing everyone but please let the Creasey's Farm option "die the death".

Q6: Would always prefer brownfield sites.

Q7: I have underlined close. Should people live close to busy highways? Bearing in mind noise, pollution and road safety.

Q8: Yes - Absolutely.

Q12: Links to railway station, shopping, educational facilities, doctors surgeries, hospitals.

Q13: Really good schools for all age groups. Good medical facilities. Reliable and easy to use public transport (buses).

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: No. I strongly disagree with these proposals. There hasn't been sufficient information given.

Q2: No. Housing is needed but not at this volume.

Q3: Yes. The proposed area is countryside. This will change the whole feel of the surrounding village.

Q4: No information has been provided. We only found out about the proposal via Facebook.

Q5: No.
