We agree with the option of converting the West Horndon Industrial Estate to housing, but not using Green Belt land for housing. The government has recently clarified that housing demand is unlikely to constitute the exceptional circumstances to justify loss of Green Belt land.
From our recent experience dealing with Brentwood planning department and local councilors, we have little faith that the best interests of West Horndon residents will be the most important criteria when you make your recommendations/proposals on the Local Plan 2015 - 2030. Comments submitted for your consideration.
