The SGO recognises an increase in OAN to 360 homes per annum, higher if to account for past unmet needn order to meet this objectively assessed need it is important that the council allocate appropriate sustainable sites in all areas of the borough that can contribute to meeting needs whilst avoiding significant harm to the Green Belt. Sites should be considered where they are sustainably located and well-situated with regards to existing community facilities and services. This site presents an opportunity for development within a defined settlement boundary which would not require development of either greenfield or brownfield land within the Green Belt. The site is under- utilised and presents an obvious opportunity to relieve pressure on the Green Belt surrounding West Horndon.
