Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council
Policy 6.5 of the Draft Local Plan states that "Locations around rail stations should contribute to these aims through the delivery of higher density development to meet local needs in central sustainable locations". As noted above, the proposal for 500 houses near to West Horndon Station on sites 020 and 021 would close to double the size of the village. Any development needs to include a range of property types to create a sustainable and balanced community. It is also noted that at present, West Horndon village has a specific character which will need to be protected. Densities and styles will need to reflect and complement the existing village, to create a seamless transition between the "new" development and the "old" village.
