As a result of the infrastructure requirements associated with the Brentwood Enterprise Park it is unlikely that this will be delivered in the first five years of the plan period. Similarly, the employment land at Dunton is unlikely to come forward prior to the housing because of the associated infrastructure and the funds required, as such the delivery of this is unlikely to come forward in the first five years, if this strategic allocation is progressed.
Without the delivery of sufficient employment land, the existing operators at West Horndon will have no reasonable alternative site. The sites at East Horndon (187) are immediately available and provide a reasonable alternative for the existing operators at West Horndon, allowing the West Horndon site to come forward within the identified timeframe for housing.
