Q1: Yes. The character of the areas is completely different.

Q2: No. A127 at full capacity - widening could cause massive problems for local residents. Flooding, already a recurring problem, does not seem to have been addressed. Open fenland, with its wildlife and beauty, is greatly valued by residents of West Horndon.

Q3: Site 200 [Entire Land East of A128, south of A127] massively preferred to 037 [A/B/C - Land West of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], 038 [A/B - Land East of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], and 126 [Land East of West Horndon, South of Station Road].
Brownfield sites should be used for future building before exploiting greenfield sites.
New, appropriate infrastructure should be carefully planned before any building takes place.
My concern is that West Horndon will no longer be a village, its character treasured by local residents.

Q4: Site 200 has the greater potential to afford future benefit for the village of West Horndon.
Development unsuitable in sites 037 A,B,C [Land West of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon] and 038 A,B [Land East of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon] which are prone to becoming water logged - please refer to paragraph 100 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
