4. Even with improvements to facilities and infrastructure, West Horndon is not a sustainable location for the scale of development proposed. New development should be in sustainable locations, accessible to local services.
West Horndon is a small remote village:
few shops.
no secondary-school.
Primary-school at capacity.
Three-day wait for doctor.
Infrequent buses.
Station has limited additional capacity.
Railway doesn't link to Brentwood.
Station car park at capacity.
Many roads and junctions at capacity.
Most journeys made by car.
Improvements and new facilities would not overcome unsustainable location.
Evidence is needed on the above and more, which has not been done.
