Respondent: Thurrock Borough Council

1.Thurrock Council supports the purpose and function of the Green Belt. We object strongly to the Brentwood Preferred Option Local Plan for the failure up to this stage to include a formal Green Belt review as part of the local plan process.
2.Within the Preferred Option Brentwood Council Local Plan there is a proposed strategic release at West Horndon of up to 1500 dwellings. There are no details of the proposal including delivery. The Brentwood Preferred Option Local plan only accommodates some of the objectively assessed housing requirement and it is considered this represents the exceptional circumstance appropriate for Brentwood to undertake a Green Belt review.
3.Object to an expanded settlement at West Horndon. This is based on the evidence base for the Thurrock adopted core strategy regarding development at this location into Thurrock, south of the railway line.
