Q1: No - The proposed amount of new houses is preposterous. It will have a massive impact on greenfield sites, roads, schools etc will be unable to cope with large numbers of new houses and the people who live in them.

Q2: No - No, I find it insulting that these enormous issues are being planned without our approval and blessing. No doubt greedy developers are rubbing their hands with glee at the profits to be made.

Q3: Yes - Villages like Herongate and Ingrave would be totally unable to cope with a large influx of new housing. There are no facilities to cope with the extra children, cars etc.

Q4: Land between West Horndon and Laindon.

Q5: Yes - Yes, but in moderation.

Q6: Develop brownfield sites only.

Q7: Yes - Within reason! Yes.
