Sustainability Appraisal:
Note that the SA Addendum (Sep 2021) identifies ‘strongly negative effects’ associated with the Main Modifications that result in the Plan not meeting the full OAN, as well as the particularly low housing supply that will result in the early years of the plan, which will result in worsening affordability. The SA suggests however that there is no alternative to this situation aside from significant delays to the adoption of the current plan. We consider that the most appropriate action would be to include additional sites now such as land West of West Horndon;
Object to the assertion in Box 1.1 of the SA that West Horndon could not deliver early in the Plan period. EASL have undertaken significant preparatory work already and ready to submit an application. The only constraint is the progress of the Local Plan. Delivery analysis indicates that first completions could be achieved in approximately 3 years from adoption of the Plan.
