My opinion is that far too much development is being pushed into West Horndon and the immediate surrounding area. Why is the north of the borough being virtually ignored when the A12 is already lined up for improvement?
In West Horndon just the development in the Industrial estate will virtually double the number of dwellings in the village and therefore will significantly increase pressure on traffic, the railway station c2c journeys and the doctors.
DGV it seems will go ahead and the extra traffic will go on the A127 We can see the A127 from our house and the DGV will bring it to a standstill as it cannot cope now.
I think that that plan for 10 traveller sites at the industrial estate and 30 at DGV is disgusting. It has been quietly sneaked into the LDP hoping it would get missed in all the documentation. Seeing the mess left at Tesco Laindon recently appalled me. What good reason can Brentwood have for planning two developments then making the houses in them unsaleable due to traveller sites? Just saying it is the most reasonable place for them is insulting to this village and the surrounding area. Have the potential developers been advised of this proposal?
It seems for some reason best known to Brentwood BC that dumping everything on West Horndon is their fix.
I do not object in principle to development and understand it is necessary, but 590 homes on the industrial estate is enough, DGV is I think a done deal, but the travelers sites as well is a step too far.
