There is inadequate infrastructure for thousands of new homes. In recent years traffic has got worse.

We would agree with the general Infrastructure considerations set out in section 6 of the SGOC. However, once again we reiterate our comments regarding the presumption that the A127 corridor is the most suitable option for growth, with a current lack of evidence to justify this.

A transport infrastructure that enables 2 or 3 cars per household as young people do not use public transport and most of the elderly are usually driven from the village.

No, you haven't discussed services for dwellings etc. and Yes there are other important issues e.g. the overall inadequacy of rainfall and water storage for the area and that the existing sewerage treatment plants are almost at full capacity.

Yes. Improving communications - WIFI - and local transport. Crossrail will have its benefits but buses to town and stations from the villages need to improve. Buses and trains to Stansted airport from Brentwood should be considered.

The main areas have been considered.
There are many other issues about the whole look and feel of the total Brentwood area - keeping the treasure trove of 6th greatest % of Green Belt and the ability for the South of the area to access open couhrtyside in the North.
The Dunton Garden Suburb concept takes pressure off other Greenfield and rural and non A12/ A127 corridor sites and allows the other benefits of the area to be kept.

The point is that while comments have been made on most of the key areas they need expanding upon to understand the detail.
Of key concern are the transport issues which would affect existing communities and existing infrastructure if develpments were to take place and the knock on bottle neck effects in other areas as commuters seek to access crossrail (at Shenfield) and the A12/M25/M11

Yes. The idea of the Green Belt was to stop the spread of the Urban sprawl from London there are many other places in the country which are in need of development.
Much of land around Brentwood is good agricultural land which will be much needed in the future due to increased population and global warming.

Yes, it is positive that the Council have recognised the need for the Local Plan to consider travel infrastructure that links with Cross Rail including pedestrian, cycle and vehicular transport. It is also positive the Council are currently carrying out further transport modelling to inform this strategy and further assessment will be made of the economic impact of Cross Rail. The results of this modelling will inform what additional transport infrastructure (including car parking) will be required in Shenfield and Brentwood as a result of Cross Rail. It's important that the Council has adequate car parking available to meet the needs and demand of Cross Rail, prior to the proposed opening in 2018.

Land in-between the A12 and the A1023 is fully deliverable as a park and ride with commercial/leisure land. It is capable of being run privately or by Essex County Council if the demand dictates.

The first question on infrastructure must always be 'Is the need for new infrastructure justified and can it be reduced or mitigated by other - usually cheaper - measures?'

These issues are missing:-
* Libraries
* Parking control
* Recycling facilities
* Energy generation
* Broadband
* Traffic calming
* Allotments
* Public mechanical and artistic workshops

Development must not increase the challenges to the Borough's infrastructure
The transport focus appears to be on Crossrail, but given the scale of development within the A127 corridor, a transport strategy is needed for this area.
The consultation focuses on the A127 and A12 but neglects the A128
Further detail on infrastructure will be needed as it is quite limited.
Timing of infrastructure needs a stronger focus.

The new Brentwood Local Plan must seek to maximise benefits and locational advantages resulting from Crossrail. Therefore we support future housing development within walking distance to Brentwood Railway Station.
Highways capacity issues in Brentwood and along the A12 should be considered. A potential new junction on the A12, to serve potential development to the east of Brentwood, would help alleviate congestion from the centre of Brentwood.

Rural areas lack infrastructure required for development. It will affect residents, horse riders and dog walkers etc who rely on easy access to local woodland, and whose safety is jeopardised by traffic.

The government is placing increasing emphasis on the importance of infrastructure planning.
BBC is preparing an Infrastructure Delivery Plan to understand better current facilities that are in the Borough and to identify where new ones will be needed. This is not yet available to inform the selection of a spatial strategy for growth in the Borough. In the absence of this, we consider that the potential exists at West Horndon to develop land adjacent to the existing settlement that builds upon the strengths of the village and adds to its existing services and facilities. The land is already readily accessible to public transport services and facilities, transport benefits for the existing community can further be maximized by economies of scale.

Transport is a key issue. Brentwood Enterprise Park [site ref 101A] proposal is supported by transport evidence (see attached). Proposals provide direct access to the strategic road network and green travel route to provide sustainable site access and links with surrounding areas. Capacity at other A127 junctions is rightly identified as requiring further evidence if initial Dunton Garden Suburb options are to be deliverable. Benefit of Brentwood Enterprise Park proposal is that strategic road traffic will not need to travel along the A127 or through residential areas, thereby minimising impacts on local residents.
