Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4138

Received: 12/02/2015

Respondent: S. Mitchell

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed west horndon industrial site, many companies there are in old buildings paying historic rents and moving them to new modern serviced units will greatly increase rents, the costs for moving machine tools, plans, machinery, racking and infrastructure will also be prohibitive, once these jobs are lost they will not be replaced, it would be the same as closing and building on high street shops in Brentwood are the council considering this?
