WEST HORNDON

I am appalled at the poor quality Plan that has been published.

I am a resident of West Horndon.

My concern is for the ideas put forward about West Horndon.

Firstly, to develop the light industrial site from commercial to residential seems good.

To expand that concept to build on Green Belt is terrible, and very poorly thought out. A national precedent would be formed, thereby running rough-shod through that premis, a point that Brentwood Council says is to be protected.

There is no evidence in the report to consider. The report is therefore unprofessional.
The Infrastructure Delivery Plan is not evidenced, neither is the Modelling Work report.

How can a report be anything other than rubbish, if it is incomplete? There is not even any information on how pedestrians in larger numbers would cross the road from the (currently) commercial area in safety.
There is no reference to proposals on how the railway system would cater for a larger village.
The percentage increase in size of the village is not fair compared to other areas of Brentwood borough. The proposal is trying to squeeze at 'quart into a pint pot'. The proposal for West Horndon is not feasible and not proven or evidenced.
I don't think this Plan will be advertised as it is embarrassing.
