Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Respondent: Mrs Annette Scammell
Our home is surrounded by open countryside and green belt land, the construction of 1500 new homes and the loss of open countryside would destroy the village open setting and rural character. Any new development would greatly increase volumes of traffic through the village, the A128 and A127 struggle to cope with the volume of traffic at the moment without adding to this.
West Horndon and the surrounding green belt land is a flood risk area and therefore would not be a sustainable location for development.
I am writing to object to the impact that the local development plan would have on the village of West Horndon should it go ahead.
I have lived in West Horndon for 15 years and choose to move to a rural village to have my family. The development of 1500 new homes would radically change the structure of West Horndon. Our home is surrounded by open countryside and green belt land, the construction of 1500 new homes and the loss of open countryside would destroy the village open setting and rural character.

As a resident of West Horndon I wish to make my objections to the Council under the formal public consultation to any development in the village.
