Q1: Yes.

Q2: No - The A127 is always busy and there are frequent roadworks. The A12 flows much better. The A127 is prone to flooding, which causes further delays.

Q3: Yes - The areas 020 and 021 are brownfield industrial sites, which are already in the 5 year land supply. If 400-500 houses are built here, that will change West Horndon by about 80% increase in housing. 037A, B and C, 038A and B and 126 are Green Belt. This would be inappropriate development and would cause environmental harm. These fields are frequently water logged and therefore prone to flooding.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb is preferred. It has a great deal of potential for growth, as although it is in our parish, it is outside the village. Robust buffer zones should be established however.

Q5: Yes - Brentwood should use the available sites for significant development in these areas. As previously stated, I believe there is more capacity on the A12 rather than the A127.

Q6: Brownfield sites should be developed, greenfield should not be developed, and should be regarded as sacrosanct.

Q7: Yes - Transport by bus from railway stations must be established.

Q8: Yes.

Q9: Yes - We have a park in West Horndon. The potential development of the Dunton Harden Suburb should include more open spaces for us, as DSG will impact us.

Q13: Health, education and transport are what I consider to be priorities. These must be established sooner, rather than later.
