Policy CP4 allocating strategic development at West Horndon is supported. It is considered that there are ample opportunities within West Horndon to deliver this level of strategic development. As discussed in the response to Policy S2, it is considered that the level of housing provision proposed in the Brentwood Local Plan is insufficient in relation to the objectively-assessed need of the Borough and therefore further opportunities within Brentwood Borough and specifically West Horndon should be explored in relation to providing additional housing provision in order to ensure that the Plan is found sound.
In the preamble to Policy CP4, the Council acknowledges that "West Horndon could give rise to further capacity depending on its ability to accommodate a self sustaining community and provision of infrastructure can be met over the plan period." Therefore it will be necessary to identify additional sustainable sites within West Horndon.
