Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 3931

Received: 09/02/2015

Respondent: Mr. L Marchant

Representation Summary:

Yes. West Horndon has the Industrial site listed for development of residential homes. The bridge crossing the railway is old, and road layout awkward - an 'S' bend over the railway. On development of the Industrial site the road could be straightened, and a footbridge to be erected. This may involve purchasing properties on the south of the railway, but as the land is usually liable to flooding, development may improve the area. This highlights the aspect of flooding in the West Horndon area, so development would have to be at an elevated level.
