The SGO for West Horndon is presented as an alternative to Dunton Garden Suburb (DGS), providing the basis for promoting one option over the other. It may be that it is necessary to assume that both options are required as a minimum. If 1,500 dwellings are proposed at the WHSGL, of which 500 of the 2,500 brownfield homes are on the West Horndon Industrial Estate, and 1,000 are on the land controlled by EA Strategic, this would still leave a requirement for a minimum of a further 2,000 homes on greenfield sites in the Borough.
The most sustainable location for additional housing growth would be around the settlement of West Horndon, including access to the existing railway station, it is important that all of the options to accommodate this addition housing are assessed.
