Representation Summary:
The plan in its present form does not pass the tests as set out in the NPPF, which states that:-
"Local Plans should develop robust and comprehensive policies that set out the quality of developments that would be expected of the area, responding to local character and being visually attractive."
West Horndon is a small low density settlement surrounded by open countryside. The village is characterised by larger plots backing onto open fields. The construction of 1,500 or more houses on the edge of the village, would result in the loss of open countryside, wildlife and bio-diversity.
