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

I am 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 astonishing, 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 not for negotiation.

There is no evidence in the report to consider. The report is therefore unprofessional.
The report shows:
Evidence
Infrastructure Delivery Plan (forthcoming)
Modelling work (forthcoming)
Site Analysis/pro formas

How can a report be anything other than rubbish, if it is incomplete? There is not even any information on how pedestrians in greater 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 a 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.
It will be interesting to see if Brentwood Council would advertise their expertise in forming this Plan. I don't think it would happen as the Plan is embarrassing.
