Site 200 would be strongly preferred to 037, 038 and 126 as a means to provide the required level of housing within the Borough, whilst managing this growth in a sustainable manner. Given the level of infrastructure that would be required, again this would need to be managed in a sustainable and appropriate manner to safeguard the existing West Horndon community, and create a self sufficient community within the Garden Suburb. It would also be necessary to ensure a sufficient buffer of land is maintained going forwards, between the Garden Suburb and the land surrounding West Horndon village. WHPC suggest that this could be achieved through creating a woodland area reaching from the west of the Garden Suburb, up to Thorndon Country Park.
