Both residents and the Parish Council have already expressed their profound concern. Hermes is worried that this proposal may have a substantially negative effect on the valuable working relations that have been built with the local community over the years. Hermes are also concerned about the impact of this proposal on the viability of the whole redevelopment plan for the industrial estate.
As the master plan for the redevelopment of the West Horndon Industrial Estate has developed, the provision of Gypsy and Travellers Sites has never formed part of the discussion. Both residents and the Parish Council have already expressed their profound concern. Hermes is worried that this proposal may have a substantially negative effect on the valuable working relations that have been built with the local community over the years. Hermes are also concerned about the impact of this proposal on the viability of the whole redevelopment plan for the industrial estate. The proposal has seemingly come out of thin air, with no discussion at all. This is contrary to the advice set out in the Government's "Planning policy for traveller sites" (August 2015).
