Policy S1 as proposed is too restrictive and does not allow for growth throughout the borough. The policy is also contradictory as it refers to fostering sustainable communities and then directs growth towards Brentwood, Shenfield and West Horndon. Within the chapter the Council mention "flexibility", yet the whole chapter is not flexible and directs all development to the three areas. The citing of so much development at west horndon does not meet the general requirements of the councils preferred spatial strategy. There are villages and sites throughout the borough that are capable of providing a sustainable location that will not require a complete overhaul of the infrastructure. By taking this approach it allows for flexibility.
