THE FOLLOWING IS THE STONDON MASSEY PARISH COUNCIL'S SUBMISSION FOR THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSULTATION. 85B Recreation Field, Tipps Cross: We agree with the comments presented by Blackmore Parish Council regarding the above proposal and would like to add the following comments. 1. Tipps Cross is just outside the borders of Stondon Massey but it is only a couple of minutes' walk away and its facilities are used by a lot of the residents. This proposal will greatly reduce the recreation ground attached to Tipp Cross Village Hall. 2. Stondon Massey already has very limited leisure facilities for its residents and Tipps Cross provides the village with extra leisure facilities including the use of this field for children at the pre-school club and other clubs such as the Croquet Club that use this field. The loss of this field would further reduce the facilities we have. 3. Tipps Cross Remembrance Hall is frequently used for functions and evening clubs which take place late in the evening and often into the night. If houses were to be built very close to the hall these events could potentially disturb the residents and could mean they would wish to reduce the hours of events in the hall, further reducing the use of the hall and it facilities to local residents. 4. This is building on green belt land, reducing the recreation land around the village, where as when a proposal to build on an existing Brown Field site next to the Hallsford Bridge, on Stondon Road was put forward previously it was turned down. 5. When Barry Aspinell was the leader of Brentwood Borough Council it was proposed to build houses on another Brown Field site in Stondon Massey, namely on the Clapgate Estate. The proposal was to build a mixture of residential and social houses. It seems this proposal has also been ignored and taken of the agenda. Both these proposals were considered to be beneficial to the surrounding area and would have meant that we could have had a mixture of housing on existing brown field sites rather than reducing our green belt on a much smaller site. 6 Tipp Cross junction is already busy and somewhat dangerous junction with traffic coming around a blind bend on the Blackmore Road which does mean there are frequent accidents at this junction, the building of 20 houses very close to this junction would significantly increase this risk. 294 Chestnut Field, Tipps Cross. We concur with all the comments made by Blackmore PC regarding building on this site, it is as the above site "85B Recreation Field, Tipps Cross" a long-established Greenbelt Zone. It is also an undisturbed section open space alongside a residential area. Building on this site would also impact upon the local Tipp Cross Remembrance Hall for the same reason as point 4 above, it would also potentially cause the same problems with the junction as in point 6. Lastly but by no means least it is as stated in points 4 & 5 above it is a green belt area that these houses are being proposed to build on, when we have already established there are at least two brown field sites in close proximity that have already been put forward as options for development and are larger sites that would enable to building of mixed housing.
