Appreciate we must have some properties but 1,500 is a lot for a small village.
Has flooding been considered?
Doctors and school will not cope.
Train service is not good and c2c will not stop more.
Bus service is not good.
Alternative sites:
- Nursery on A127
- New road from A128 to rear of park in Cadogan Avenue
- Elliott's site on A127
Accept we must take our share of houses but don't want anymore flooding. Good to remove the Industrial Estate and big lorries, but must also consider those who work on the estate.
Regarding proposed plans for West Horndon I appreciate we must have some properties but 1.500 is rather alot for a small village like West Horndon.
Have you considered the flooding we have had in the past as recently as 2012 Christmas time building on the back of Thorndon Avenue I feel will cause more problems for the village. Our Doctors will not cope with all these houses nor the school. Our train service is not that great I don't think c2c will stop more trains at West Horndon, we have not got a very good bus service either which being elderly find very difficult to get shopping done in one hour.
If we are to have houses the Nursery I believe is up for sale on the A127 and there is alot of land there, also could a road be taken from the A128 to round the back of the park which is in Cadogan Avenue and you could get a number of houses there also the ground at Elliotts on the A127 which has been empty for years.
I know we must take our share of houses but please consider our small village as we don't want anymore flooding, also the Industrial Estate is a good idea to get rid of with big lorries passing through village but we must also think of the people that work on the estate and I have seen quite a number of people coming from the trains and how will they get to the new site which you propose.
