Challenge that the A127 corridor provides an opportunity for growth that brings new services, facilities and infrastructure. These are possible in the A12 corridor. Noting also that expansion of the A127/M25 in the context of the proposed development is not supported by Essex County Council or Highways England. flood risk around West Horndon village creates significant issues when considering larger scale development around the village. The flood issues are also clearly stated in the Draft Local Plan (10.68). Previous consultations also rightly highlighted increased deliverability challenges should development be focused on West Horndon village. The village is already assumed to support 500 houses. If all development is concentrated on the village these houses' deliverability becomes more challenging, and viability clearly reduces.
