Land at Penny Pots, Ongar Road, Stondon Massey, Essex CM15 0EA

I seek to have the above site included for residential development as part of the revised Plan (the Proposed Submission Document) in early 2014.

No provision for any new dwellings, are proposed for Stondon Massey. Every village or settlement, of any size, needs an amount of new housing to accommodate the natural growth of the village, to provide for its residents.

This site, and other sites like it, could be favoured by respondents, as less overall harm might be caused to the Green Belt, as its a smaller site.

1. The Council has determined that up to 5600 new homes is the housing need for the next 15 years. However, the draft local plan proposed only 3500 new homes. Inclusion of this site will help to meet this shortfall.
2. It is not accepted that the reasons for rejecting Alternative Option 4 - Dispersed Growth, are valid. Whilst the Council state as part of their reasons for rejection that providing housing to all settlements would lead to a loss of Green Belt and detract from the quality and rural character of the Borough, this argument cannot be applied to this site as supported by the councils consultants, which state that development of this site could enhance the viability of services in the village.

Land between 339 and 361 Roman Road, Mountnessing, Ingatestone CM15 0UJ

The existing pattern of development in the locality of the site comprises a mostly built up frontage at Roman Road opposite the site, and on the southern side of Roman Road from 303 to the North, down to 361 to the South, next to the site.

It is the only un-built on gap along this part of Roman Road.

The site therefore qualifies for 'Infilling development' in accordance with paragraph 89 of the NPPF.

We would like to submit the above site for consideration to meet housing needs.

Policy DM12 does not detail the criteria for assessment as to how those areas in the policy qualify to be established areas of development, and how other sites in the Borough do not.

It is suggested that certain parts of certain villages, for example our site, could be considered to be an established area of development. If this is the case, then building on this infill plot would be supported by the draft local plan. It is suggested that the analysis of those areas that would constitute established areas of development is unduly restrictive.
