Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13678

Received: 23/03/2016

Respondent: Mr Sasha Millwood

Representation Summary:

It is questionable whether new Employment Land is required, given that so many plots and units are vacant. Furthermore, I object to proposals to move the W. Horndon Industrial Estate, which is well situated for locals and non-locals alike both by road and, more importantly, by public transport. The proposed site on J29 of the M25 is not a brownfield site (see earlier representation on the 'Trojan horse', and thus the illegality of relabelling this plot brownfield, given that its use as a works compound for M25 widening was explicitly stated as being temporary).
