There is inconsistency in terms of the proposals for redevelopment of existing employment land for housing at West Horndon, when this serves as an important and much needed employment resource. High proportion of the Borough's residents commute to work elsewhere and employment provided by small businesses is growing. A127 will see significant economic growth based on plans to redevelop land at junction 29 of the M25, some growth at Childerditch Industrial Estate, and as part of DHGV. Growth is best provided at West Horndon that would be well-placed to meet all these employment objectives. It is in the A127 corridor, is accessible to A127, A12 and M25), served by a railway station and public transport links to key urban areas. Economies of scale would allow local employment provision, specifically aimed at small businesses, which would be accessible by walking and cycling. It lies close to proposed M25 employment location and public transport measures could be introduced to improve linkages between the two.
