Dunton Garden Suburb is a somewhat reluctant choice as it forms part of the green lung between Basildon and London, but if allowed, providing it is self contained, has its own infrastructure and does not overcrowd the facilities in West Horndon village then so be it.
The development must take place in such a way that it does not increase reail commuters from outside the immediate village parking cars to use the station at West Horndon (current parking is insufficient) West Horndon Junior school is at capacity. Extra senior school pupils travelling to Brentwood centre will increase capacity issues along the A128.
The loss of the golf course will hurt the community, as the people use the golf course, restaurants, and visit the firework display. Loss of this deprives the village of leisure faciliites not requiring transport.
