Para 5.20 - Whilst there is still some doubt about the deliverability of Dunton Hills Garden Village, the reference to "brownfield opportunities" is welcomed. However, it is unclear what the local plan's amended focus is given the emphasise that housing delivery on these sites will be taken to effectively meet local needs. Our client is concerned that this may be used to stymie the redevelopment of the Horndon Estate and request further information in the context of the capacity of the sites to deliver new homes.
Our client welcomes the reference to "a residential led mixed use redevelopment of existing industrial land in West Horndon, creating a new village centre with supporting services and facilities close to the village rail station".
