Supportive of the Boroughs needs to provide new housing and employment opportunities over the next 15 years, much could take place within West Horndon and the Dunton Garden Suburb. We do not consider that a housing led mixed use redevelopment of the West Horndon Industrial Estate is appropriate, as it would add 5ha, as well as a minimum of 165jobs, onto the Borough Council's current requirements to deliver between 18-23ha of employment land, and upto 7,440 new jobs. The Industrial Estate should therefore remain allocated as an Employment Allocation and any development within the vicinity of the site should be of compatible uses in order to support the vitality of this important existing employment location.
