Respondent: Mr David Bird
- Concerned about flooding in West Horndon.
- West Horndon may have a railway station but it is full to bursting in the mornings.
- Concerned the closure of the industrial estate will lead to unemployment.
- New residents will have cars, vans, bikes, caravans etc going in and out of the village & will put our children's safety at risk.
- Apprehensive that the roads, schools and doctors would not be able to cope by the proposed housing development.
- Objecting based on the reduction of the quality of life of the community, and taking away the metropolitan greenbelt.
In response to the planning development in West Horndon I would like to make you aware of some concerns that I have:
1. Flooding is my first concern
2. West Horndon may have a railway station but it is full to bursting in the mornings and as far as I am aware c2c
do not have any plans to upgrade the system.
3. You may think that closing the industrial estate to build these new houses is going to be beneficial to residents of West Horndon but I do not agree as residents and others that work on the site will become unemployed thus creating hardship and when these houses are built then the residents that move into these new properties will also have cars vans bikes caravans ect going in and out of the village & will put our children's safety at risk.
4. Please could you explain why this development is being planned in West Horndon & to my knowledge other parts of Brentwood will not be affected on this scale considering Brentwood is a large borough & this should be considered very seriously as the roads schools & doctors will not be able to cope and I know that any building to this extent will affect mine and many others quality of life.
5. Please do not take the metropolitan green belt as this will be the slippery slope to ruin our countrside forever.
