West Horndon is the only settlement along the A127 that benefits from a rail station, together with a grade separated junction, making it the most sustainable in this transport corridor. Most of the village including proposed development land to the east is within walking distance of the station and key local facilities and services. The nearest railway station to DHGV location is also West Horndon. This is not within easy walking distance and if developed the occupiers of the development using the train would be likely to drive or make use of a shuttle bus if one were provided. Overall the proposals at Dunton would have a significant impact on the village character at West Horndon in terms of an increase in traffic and parking.
