With reference to your plans for the development of West Horndon.

This development must have been some few years in planning Why is it, none of the villagers were consulted at the very beginning of your plans, along with the farmers who green belt fields you need. It seems to us you have no understanding or indeed care, about the villagers or villages and there environment. Incredible, considering through our Council Tax we pay, indirectly for the planners.

You are ignoring, the safe guards of Metropolitan Green Belt. You are ignoring the very big risk of flooding. You are most certainly ignoring the residents of West Horndon.

If these unrealistic plans go forward, we the residents, will endure 15- years of development, or to put it another way 15- years of a building site. Is it not the case the Council Planning Department, assume that we will have to just accept these plans. I'm absolutely positive you will try to push these plans through regardless of our wishes.

We are an attractive village, its a great place to live, and its a great place to raise a family, and its a great place to retire. Has there been no consideration to this.

We are totally against these plans for the Development of West Horndon and respectfully ask, you the planners to take into account our wishes.
