The scale of housing and employment requirements in the Borough will require the delivery of a large scale development site able to provide a full range of onsite community facilities and essential offsite infrastructure improvements. While there may be opportunities for some small scale development within or on the edge of West Horndon the scale of development required to meet full housing and employment need would 'swamp' the existing village with an existing infrastructure designed for a smaller scale village and less able to accommodate additional demand. The alternative of a new large scale development either as a suburb associated with the western edge of Basildon or a standalone settlement would deliver the benefits and community explained in Appendix A without the dis-benefits of over developing the existing village of West Horndon.
