I think it is an absolute joke that a plan has been drawn up to build such a large volume of houses in such a small area. The facilities in the area can only just about manage with the current level of people in the village. The school and doctors are at full capacity. That is the key point that the facilities in the village are already stretched and there has been no plan shared on improving them.
The second point is that the village is not very well maintained at the moment with poor quality roads and footpaths, how will the council maintain them with a minimum addition of 1,500 people?

I understand there is a requirement to build homes and that's why I agree with LDP 021. This plan will bring advantages to the village such as reducing the ridiculous amount of large commercial vehicles that drive through the village and make the lanes less dangerous. Even if 250 homes were to be built there would still be a need to improve the facilities as the current setup would not be feasible.
I also do not agree with the sheer number of gypsy plots that have been assigned to be built in West Horndon. Surely these should be more evenly distributed over the whole of Brentwood council. There is already a gypsy plot approximately 1 mile away from West Horndon on St Mary's Lane going towards Upminster. How the growth of the gypsy plots will be controlled also concerns me.
