Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council
WHPC strongly believe that any development within the Borough or indeed, Parish, needs to be undertaken on a sustainable basis. SO3 states that BBC will "plan for housing that meets the needs of the Borough's population and contributes to creating inclusive, balanced, sustainable communities". WHPC note that given the scale of development proposed within West Horndon village, this is essential for our community. Any development needs to provide a range and balance of different housing types, that complement the existing village and help create a dynamic and stable community. Simply providing houses/flats for commuters would not achieve this - whilst this type of housing might help balance out Brentwood Borough as a whole, it would create an unsustainable and unbalanced community within West Horndon. A good mix of housing types will be required.
