I am opposing to the fact that at no time were we informed of any plans to support the allocation of the amount of houses being considered to extend our small village.

please see below reasons for my objections:-
* The village would not be able to cope, we already have flooding in the village due to lack of maintenance, ditches remain blocked, pavements and roads in disrepair. The village is classed as a flood plain.

* Extra traffic coming in and out of the village would be a major issue, the roads and the bridge by the station are not designed to cope with the additional traffic not to mention extra buses needed to cope with the amount of people.

* West Horndon railway station is already overused , unless you get a train into London coming from Laindon you have no chance of getting on. 2 trains stopping an hour is not acceptable.

* Since we come under Brentwood council how would residents get into the town centre? Are you going to consider adding more buses and extending the time table?

* Our surgery already struggles with the people already in the village, unless you plan to become sick it`s hard to get an appointment.
