Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15915
Received: 12/05/2016
Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council
Para 5.9 of the Draft Local Plan states that, in the Council's Preferred options consultation (2013) "Proportionately more growth at West Horndon was proposed because of the comparative capacity for growth in that location, and less growth in Ingatestone because of capacity and land constraints. The strategy also considered lack of capacity in the Brentwood urban area and north of the Borough in terms of infrastructure such as roads (due to congestion), primary schools, GP facilities and a higher landscape value". Whilst this is a historic comment, WHPC note that any development at or around West Horndon faces the same problems, and this is a point that remains relevant to this current consultation. New primary schools, GP facilities and local roads would need to be constructed, and major upgrades to the A127 and potentially A128 would also be required. We also continue to challenge the lower landscape value.
