Proposed development at West Horndon
I disagree with the proposal of so many houses being built:-
a) The Green Belt should remain Green Belt
b) The village would no longer be a village because the amount of new dwellings proposed would swamp it.
c) The flood risk is ever present with floods occurring in 1958, 1981 and 2012. Having suffered flood damage to my own property here I would like to know if there has been sufficient assessment carried out of drainage in the area if the village is to be tripled in size.
We are a small village with few amenities and an extremely poor bus service. I do no think our location is sustainable for your plans.
I do not object to a small development of new homes but not on Green Belt and only if the flood risk has been properly assessed and implemented.
