Q1: Yes - The three areas have different requirements, so it seems logical to split them.

Q2: No - The A127 corridor is already at or over capacity in rush hours. If there is more building in this area, where will all the traffic go?

Q3: Yes - Change of use of the industrial site to housing is logical as it is a brownfield site. However, West Horndon villagers value their way of life and do not want to see a too great enlargement of the village.

Q4: A12 corridor. The A127 would need an extra lane to cater for additional traffic as a result of more housing. There may be room for more building but there is a big penalty in infrastructure.

Q5: Yes - There is more capacity in this area without too much penalty in future traffic requirements.

Q6: The Green Belt has been carefully protected in the past. Brownfield sites should be used where available.

Q7: Yes - Employment opportunities are necessary but they must be accessible by road or public transport.
