Q1: Yes. Splitting the Borough into three areas appears to make sense due to the different characteristics of these areas.

Q2: No. Road and rail infrastructure is overstretched. A127 at peak times is at a standstill and c2c is packed at peak times with no seats available, which will only get worse. Flood risk has not been assessed, we have flooding in Thorndon Avenue and roads around Dunton often flooded on slip road.

Q3: Yes. 020 and 021 industrial estates in West Horndon are brownfield sites and in my opinion if we have to have extra housing, this would be the preferred option, rather than Green Belt land. But there would need to have schools, doctors and public transport to satisfy demand.

Q4: Site 200 (Dunton Garden Suburb) is preferred to other sites as it would give a large number of housing in one location, although it would put a strain on surrounding road and rail networks.

Q5: Yes. Suitable sites should be included in the A12 Corridor to spread the impact on one area.

Q6: Where there are suitable brownfield sites these should be developed first as in West Horndon Industrial Park as it provides housing in a good location without damaging Green Belt land.

Q7: Yes. To relocate employment sites such as West Horndon Industrial Park it is important that it is within the A12 Corridor with good access to major road networks but ideally with access to public transport.

Q8: Yes. There does need to be local shops for villages but focus needs to be on Town Centres.

Q9: Yes. The park in Cadogan Avenue in West Horndon could be enhanced and expanded. If they build the Dunton Garden Suburb they could put in park areas.

Outdoor Recreation / Leisure Use: 3
Wildlife Interest: 4

Tranquility: 5

Q11: Houses: 3
Commercial / Industrial Buildings: 3
Nature Reserves / Wildlife: 3

Leisure / Recreation Facilities: 2

Q12: Yes. If the Dunton Garden Suburb gets the go ahead it would need a train station, otherwise the residents would drive to neighbouring stations at West Horndon or Laindon which would cause chaos at peak times, and Laindon would not have enough allocated parking in station car parks, and there would need to be better bus services.

Q13: Given the scale of development proposed in A127 Corridor it would need to be evenly spread between education, transport, healthcare, community facilities and green space.
