Received by e mail
Blackmore Village and
our Green Belt.
Did you know:-
• That Brentwood Council’s Development Plan has identified
land within Blackmore Village, sufficient for well in excess of one hundred new
homes to be constructed?
• Two, well known, Housebuilding Companies have already
acquired Options to purchase two fields in Blackmore? One of these is between
Redrose Lane and Woollard Way, the second being the other side of
Fingrith Hall Road, linking with Orchard Piece.
The two Builders have indicated to
the Council that c.90 homes can be built on one field and c.40 homes on the
other. If the smaller scheme finds its way into the final Development Plan, it
will increase the number of homes in Blackmore by almost 10%, and obviously
much more if the larger scheme happens….or both of them…..The infrastructure of
the Village will struggle to cope and the look and feel of the Village would
change forever.
If you like Blackmore ‘the way it is’ and if you are interested in helping to
protect our Green Belt, then please do not wait and see what happens, rather
make sure that:
1. You read
the recent note circulated by our Parish Council
2. You spend
proper time on the Brentwood Council web-site and read the Development Plan in
full…..yes, it’s dull, but they promised to consult with residents and this is
our opportunity to help shape the future.
3. And don’t
delay in sending back your Consultation Feedback Forms.
Yes, a resounding ‘vote’ in favour
of a large scale development at Dunton Garden Suburb will help alleviate the
pressure to ‘grow’ the Villages, but it’s important that we do all that we can
to take care of OUR destiny here in Blackmore.
THE CLOSING DATE IS 17th
FEBRUARY, so please don’t delay. Your views will count.
