Yes. The use of greenfield sites 143, 185, 070, 224, 188 and 019 (stated in original submission as 109 assumed incorrect and changed to 019) in Doddinghurst are unnacceptable as they require to, and open the door on, yet further development in the green belt. They also join up existing residential areas, creating urban sprawl in the village, and would change its character forever.

Yes. The road access to sites 143, 224, 070 and 185 is too limited to enable significant development and would create significant addition vehicular traffic on existing minor roads to the detriment of existing residents.

The Dunton Garden Suburb proposal makes sense as it can be designed from scratch to be a fully fledged community with all the amenities it requires to flourish without any significant adverse effect the existing neighbourhood.

Yes, within reason, the A12 corridor has a number of areas that could be developed so long as it is distributed development in low density quality housing and not over compressed "affordable homes" that are squashed into one area destined to be tomorrows slum - Officer's Meadow is in danger of becoming such an area.

No, this is the worst possible option. It will destroy the character of the villages surrounding Brentwood. In many cases, the existing infrastucture is unable to support this development it would encourage development of the sort at Thoby Priory. The development by "stealth" of Green Belt land is already bad enough without this arrangement. The Green Belt is being eroded with "Stables", "Chicken" farms, "Mushroom" Farms and other similar permitted developments inevitably turning into applications for residential homes. The developmet on Green Belt should only be permitted where there is overwhelming benefit to the community eg a Doctors Surgery.

Yes, site 101A on the M25/ A127 juction seems ideally suited to light industry/ retail use as good access to transport is esential keeping heavy lorries off minor roads which are already in a poor state of repair with patched tarmac and potholes everywhere.

Yes, but for diverse and quality retail units. Specialist DIY/ electronics/ whitegood and builders retailers will want their industrial size retail units out of town. Brentwood Town centre needs much better shops if it is to justify the expensive car parking it currently offers. The town needs to distinguish between all day parking for people who work and part day car parking for people who want to shop. The shops will only thrive if people turn up to shop - and they won't if it's cheaper to drive 10 miles to Lakeside where parking is free!

No, not really. The area is surrounded by farms and has a network of formal footpaths so access to the countryside on foot is not currently an issue. Clearly, for a price, additional farmland can be procured.

However, more could be done to designate "quiet" lanes and cycleways as narrow country lanes with HGV traffic does not mix well with children on their bikes with Mum and Dad. It would be relatively easy to close many of the one track minor roads to HGV through traffic to make these route safer for walkers and cyclists.
