Q1: Yes - There are three areas north, centre, south.

Q2: No - South A127 corridor over used, C2C trains packed rush hour. Building on Green Belt that has historic flooding poor idea. No development of Shenfield area making use of Crossrail.

Q3: Yes - Development on brownfield site at West Horndon only. This alone will have major effect on village (infrastructure issues). No development on Green Belt, historic flood risk not fully appreciated.

Q4: I don't agree A127 has greater growth capacity, (other borough developments not considered in A127 capacity). Dunton Garden makes more sense than rest of proposals.

Q5: Yes - Park and ride to Crossrail hub has great potential.

Q6: Brownfield sites should be used first, i.e. Wash Road. Near Crossrail major hub. M25 Industrial site poor choice, road use only. No public transport.

Q7: Yes - Public transport must be accessible. Road use alone (poor idea).

Q8: Yes - Public transport to centre a must. A busy High Street a must for local and visitors to borough.

Q9: Yes - West Horndon Park could be better developed.

Q12: Yes - Over developed in south, West Horndon should not be doubled or trebled in size (Education, health, transport, flood risk not fully assessed!)

Q13: Public transport. Over reliant on roads.
