Q1: Yes - They have different aspects, so yes.

Q2: No - Flooding is a problem on the A127 corridor. The A127 is busier than the A12 and the A12 has more potential for development. The open farmland of the A127 is not inferior to that elsewhere in the borough, how has this conclusion been reached?

Q3: Yes - 037 A, B and C and 126 are all Green Belt surrounding the village. If the industrial estates are developed, the 400+ houses proposed there will increase West Horndon by 70%. To build on the surrounding Green Belt as well would be inappropriate development and damaging to the local environment. Flooding would also be a major issue.

Q4: Site 200 - Dunton Garden Suburb should be developed in preference to the fields surrounding West Horndon (037, 038 & 126). Infrastructure must be established, and a buffer zone around West Horndon should be put in place to preserve the village.

Q5: Yes - As Brentwood needs so many houses, all suitable sites along the A12 should be considered. Why should it be centred around West Horndon and the A127?

Q6: Brownfield sites should always be considered in preference to Greenfield. Green Belt should be preserved.

Q7: Yes - From an environmental view as well as the practical view, this makes sense, although public transport must be provided.

Q8: Yes - Good public transport links are essential to ensure economic sustainability in the established town centres. Ease of car park facilities should also be a priority.

Q9: Yes - We have a small park at present. With the likely development of the new industrial sites and the potential development of DSG, more open space will be required for the village, certainly not less.

Q12: Yes - The A128 will be heavily impacted by any development and this should also be considered for upgrading.

Q13: My priorities would be transport, health and education, which should be in place before the developments need them!
Other comments: Dunton Garden Suburb is my preferred option.
