Land at Salmonds Farm, Ingrave.
Road access very limited already.
Access to farmland behind Salmonds Farm House, one of the oldest dwellings in the Borough, would damage this historic building with HGVs both during building and then indefinately from Refuse collection, maintenance, ambulances, fire tenders, delivery lorries.
Walkers use the footpaths behind this area, coming to the area from outer London for their healthy recreation. This was the area Vaughan Williams would have enjoyed when he lived in a cottage overlooking these fields. The area survived bombs in the war without damage to historic buildings; let it not be damaged by heartless developers.

Strategic Growth Options Plan (SGOP)

I am writing to comment on the proposed SGOP for Brentwood.

I have lived in the village of Ingrave for 53 years. During this time I have enjoyed countless walks in the fields and woods to the east of the A128 (NE, E and SE of the village). I am therefore very dismayed to see that all these areas appear to be under threat as part of the SGOP.

Whilst I am aware of the pressure that Central Government is (wrongly, I believe) putting on Brentwood Council, I strongly urge you to resist any development on this precious Green Belt land, which offers fresh air and quiet recreation for everyone in Ingrave and Herongate. These green areas are also valuable agricultural resources and should be protected under Green Belt legislation. I find it very difficult to believe that there aren't much more suitable places for housing developments in other parts of the County, not to mention large areas of the rest of the Country. England has become far too London and SE centred. This is not good in the long term.

In addition to the above, any development around the two villages would suffer badly from a lack of general amenities (e.g. transport, schools, doctors, etc.).

Re: Proposed building on Green Belt land.
I am writing to register the fact that I am opposed to any building on Green Belt land in Ingrave and Herongate. My reasons for doing so are environmental, not enough infrastructure, i.e. schooling doctors surgeries buses and shops, and also the extra traffic on the A128 which can now be dangerously busy.

Strategic Growth Options Plan (SGOP)

I write to comment on the SGOP for Brentwood. Our family moved to Ingrave 53 years ago and we have enjoyed the surrounding countryside during this time. The fields, woods and parks provide peaceful space away from towns and increasingly busy roads.

My understanding of the Green Belt legislation is that in 1957 the UK Government enshrined in law and promising that this green area surrounding London would be safeguarded as a valuable landscape and a national and historic environment.
I am very disturbed that pressure is being put upon Brentwood Borough Council to find land to build thousands more houses, and I urge Brentwood Council to resist any development on this precious Green Belt land. These green areas are also valuable agricultural resources and musty be protected under Green Belt legislation.

We are being pressured to increase housing in the South East and expand, and here in Herongate, Ingrave and West Horndon there are already inadequate amenities such as transport, schools, doctors etc. for the existing population. Surely the UK Government should be seeking land away from the crowded south east upon which to build further housing, plus the resulting infrastructure that will be required; and again, I urge Brentwood Borough Council to resist any development on our precious Green Belt land.
