1. West Horndon is a small village - the 1500 homes will triple the size of the village - a size that west horndon will struggle to cope with. West Horndon is taking up 43% of the whole amount - this seem wholely unfair considering the limited resources that west horndon
2. There are only 2 roads going in and out of the village and these struggle to cope now so with the extra homes will struggle even more. West Horndon has a very limited bus service to get into brentwood.
3. West Horndon is on a flood plain with flooding only as recent as xmas 2012 - the homes on the Green belt area will be directly on this flood plain - putting not only the new homes at risk of further flooding but also the existing homes.
4. Our doctors struggle with the number of patients now and this will only be made worse with 1500 new homes.
5. The homes on the green belt are a particular worry as any building on green belt is not wanted to try to keep our green land green - this green belt in particularly stated as being metropolitan green belt so is even more important to keep green
West Horndon is a small village with only 700 homes - the 1500 homes will triple the size of the village - a size that west horndon will struggle to cope with.

With west horndon being so small - it is a worry that it will cope with any new building works on this scale
There are 4300 homes planned for the whole of brentwood yet a small village such as west horndon is taking up 43% of the whole amount - this seem wholely unfair considering the limited resources that west horndon has - only 1 small corner shop and 1 bakers we do not have any more shops than this
