Site 200 (Dunton Garden Suburb) is the "preferred" to all other sites in the A127 corridor as development on this site will create less harm. An appropriate buffer zone needs to be incorporated on the western edge of the development to stop urban creep.
Development of the land adjacent to the village will destroy West Horndon village.
Brentwood council must negotiate with other councils to prevent development taking place in Thurrock to the South of West Horndon
The consultation fails to address the flood risks issues, including where it exists and how it will be managed. Sites 037A,B,C 038A and B and 126 all act as buffer stores and prone to becoming water logged following heavy rain. Any development in these areas would be contrary to paragraph 100 of the National Planning Policy
