I writing in connection with the above planning application, I know the site well. I wish to object strongly to the above development of the amount of houses proposed in this location.

Apparently our village has been targeted because of the Railway Station which goes straight into the city. However, the station is operating at maximum capacity and they are no seats available from the earliest train going into the city, more commuters more problems .

I feel another reason for objecting to this proposal is our poor drainage system which affects all of us in the village. Please take time to investigate this.
Your statement that Brentwood can be accessed from Thorndon Avenue is totally wrong, in the A127 is a dual carriageway going away from this destination.
Station Road, being the main road out of the village is also operating at full capacity with problems joining the A128 at most times of the day.
The whole infrastructure in this village is at full capacity IE Doctors, Schools Bus Service etc.

In the last few years new homes of all types have been built in West Horndon and some have still not been sold, wouldn't building more properties have the same result.

This amount of housing should be reconsidered.
