Q1: Yes. Infrastructure is vital - roads and trains are at full capacity, more traffic, where will it go? Plus park for West Horndon station (this being full most days).

Q2: Understand the need for some housing development in West Horndon but consideration must be taken into account that West Horndon was mainly built on flood plain (hence the reason our houses had to be piled).

Q4: I have lived in West Horndon for 58 years and use of land for building purposes would definitely increase the flood risk (no one wants a home that has a high potential for flooding!)

Q5: No.

Q6: Develop brownfield sites as far as practical and maintain a reasonable size Green Belt all around the village of West Horndon.

Q7: No. Difficult question - new road structure seems to be inevitable - there are only so many vehicles can use a road at any time.

Q8: No.
