Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18209

Respondent: Louise Cooper

Representation Summary:

West Horndon Village cannot sustain the number of houses proposed by this development. The road network is not designed for such a large scale, the trains are already packed and bus links extremely limited. Showcase for the development showed no consideration to entrance of the development, a road to the A127 should be a mandatory requirement to prevent crowding and traffic through the village. Creating a roundabout at the entrance to the site would be an accident waiting to happen due to the speed at which cars cross the railway bridge.
