West Horndon as a settlement capable of absorbing significant growth, has been strongly supported in the emerging Local Plan for Brentwood. A significant amount of growth can be focused on the settlement because it is relatively unconstrained by landscape and visual effects, and offers opportunities to mitigate the impacts of development by integrating them into the existing landscape. Green Belt releases are inevitable in the Borough in order to meet OAHN. In a Borough where 89% lies within the Green Belt, land at West Horndon, that has been the subject of years of intensive farming, represents one of the least attractive and lowest amenity parts of the Green Belt that could be released to meet housing and employment needs.
