I strongly object to the development plans.
Metropolitan green belt land needs to be protected if you start allowing building, it will open the flood gates for other councils to build on the sites. You need to protect the area around London.

Building should take place around Shenfield areas where they have more infrastructure. The village already suffers from major congestion, the rush hour is chaos.

The primary school will not be able to cope. The traveler sites need to be so many miles away from schools, infrastructure but do they even use them. NO. How will the school be able to handle the increase in numbers when it is already full.
The school will need to be closed and rebuilt - where will those children go to school? How will their parents get them to those schools?

It is already hard for children to get into brentwood schools. This will increase numbers of children trying to get into brentwood county high school and the school bus. There will be no room for extra children on the bus.

The travelers will bring rubbish, crime and do not clean up after themselves. They should have to pay to live on these sites and that money can be used to clean up after them and feed back into West Horndon. The travelers will be from Basildon area that were evicted recently. Look at the problems they bought with them. Why should we have to accommodate them here in West Horndon.

This will have an effect on the house prices. They will decrease, this is unfair on people that have worked hard to be able to buy a house here. West Horndon is a safe place, you increase the population, the crime will increase.

Flooding is already an issue in West Horndon, more houses means more flooding.

We have a limited number of buses that come to the village, this will not improve.

The trains are full already, there are no plans for C2c to upgrade the service. Train prices will increase, no seats, no room to board train. This will have an effect on all other train stops.

We need better roads if this is to go ahead. This should not be paid for by the tax payer. These changes need to be made before development begins.

The metropolitan green belt land is there to protect thurrock, west horndon and London merging together. We need to protect the countryside.

This land is at risk of flooding we must have work done to ensure the flooding like last christmas does not happen again.
