Question the statement that the A127 corridor has greater capacity than the A12 corridor
Site 200 is the "preferred" to all other sites in the A127 corridor. However will need to be buffered
Development of the land adjacent to West Horndon will destroy the village. Buffer zones are required.
Sites 037A,B,C 038A and B and 126 all act as buffer stores and prone to becoming water logged following heavy rain. Any development in these areas would be contrary to paragraph 100 of the National Planning Policy

There is ample land, well placed that can be used to create a new residential area. Infrastructure is currently acceptable with further opportunities if sufficient investment is made eg health, community facilities, transport, education with the existing West Horndon settlement benefiting from the industrial site being relocated. The character of the remainder of the village must be maintained.

Transport links are key and therefore the site which has easy links (established or with potential to create) to both rail and road networks. Additional development of these would be needed.

Whilst I would not like to see swathes of open land built on, I can see how creating a new suburb (Dunton) would enable all infrastructure to be put in place (schools, transport etc.) rather than negatively impacting existing communities in a sizeable fashion.

Major releases of land at Dunton or West Horndon would reduce the gap between Basildon and Upminster. This would be contrary to one of the main purposes of the Green Belt, which is to prevent neighbouring towns from merging into one another.

Releasing land north of the A127 would represent encroachment into the countryside where development would not be sustainable.

Site 200 Dunton Garden Suburb would be preferred as a planned extension to Basildon. It should only be considered if a rail station is integral to the layout. It would be the more sustainable option and provide some housing for Brentwood.

Developing the A127 corridor would seem to make sense. The concern would be access to the railway and such an increase in vehicles onto the A127.

CCC in its response to the Preferred Options Consultation, CCC raised concerns that there appears to be significant uncertainly for some large sites in West Horndon with respect to contamination and the delivery of infrastructure and services. CCC would welcome further clarification on the delivery of these sites should they be included within the emerging Draft Local Plan.

Strategic options to the west of West Horndon (037A and 037B) would have the least harmful impact on important wildlife habitats. We would consider these options to be preferable.

Strategic options to the east of West Horndon (038) are unacceptable as they would adversely impact on priority ancient woodlands and wood pasture and parkland habitats which function as necessary linkage between Thorndon and Langdon.

We also object to the proposed allocation at Dunton, which would adversely impact on priority ancient woodland and deciduous woodland, hedgerows and field margins that function as a wildlife corridor linking habitats at Thorndon and the Langdon Ridge.

Clear bias again on the part of the writer has told the reader that there is a 'greater capacity for growth along the A127 corridor', even though this is clearly not the case, when the A127 corridor hasn't got the advantage of the Crossrail and multiple roads, including a much better maintained A12, brownfield sites, and nearby secondary schools.

Given the targets for housing that are being imposed on Brentwood it does appear that development serviced by the A127 is an option. It is important that any new development is fully equipped with schools, healthcare, utilities and is in keeping with the area.

Because there is a need to expand, but should only be at national growth percentage. If the country population has grown for example by 10% in the last 20 years, West Horndon should grow by 10%. Why should West Horndon take on the country's burden. That said because Green Belt should stay as Green Belt I agree best place to grow West Horndon would be industrial site brown field, not Green Belt. And certainly not 500 houses, but 50 houses, and not affordable houses, real family homes.

If any further development in the A127 corridor is required Site 200 - Dunton Garden Suburb (DGS) would be strongly preferred to the 037, 038 and 126 sites as a means to contribute to providing the required level of housing within the Borough, whilst managing this growth in a sustainable manner. The current consultation on DGS proposes that this development would have a total of between 4000 & 6000 houses - 2000 & 3000 in the Borough of Brentwood. Given the potential for new/redevelopment throughout the rest of the Borough this number seems excessive. It should be possible to achieve the 5 year land supply and a robust LDP without resorting to such large numbers in the A127 corridor. However, whatever housing number is necessary a significant level of new infrastructure 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. I suggest that this could be achieved by creating woodland.

In line with my response to Question 2, I challenge the statement that the A127 corridor has greater capacity than the A12 corridor.
 In line with my response to Question 3 above, after the brownfield sites 020 & 021, site 200 (Dunton Garden Suburb) is the least undesirable of the all other sites in the A127 Corridor as development on this site will create the least harm.
 Site 200 has the potential to contribute to the Brentwood Borough Council's need for residential development; and could become a self-sufficient, sustainable development with access to levels of infrastructure funding that would offer the best chance for a positive outcome for existing and new residents of the A127 Corridor.
 Developing site 200 would also enable potential residential development in and around West Horndon village to be limited to the existing industrial estates (sites 020 & 021). Whilst such development would still significantly alter the nature of West Horndon village, if undertaken appropriately, the village could retain its current "small community" feel, with surrounding farmland, open spaces and nature preserved.
 If site 200 is developed an appropriate buffer zone must be incorporated on the western edge of the development up to the A128 to prevent future urban creep, and minimise the impact of development on existing residents.
 Development of the land immediately adjacent to the village (sites 037, 038 & 126) would destroy the current village environment.
 Brentwood Borough Council must use the "duty to cooperate" to negotiate with other authorities to prevent development taking place in Thurrock to the south of West Horndon. Such development would also cause harm similar to that identified for sites 037, 038 and 126.
 The consultation document fails to identify the flood risk issues, including where it exists and how it will be managed. Given the recent history of flooding in the West Horndon area it is essential this is addressed. Sites 037A, B and C, 038A and B, and 126 all act as water buffer stores and are prone to becoming water logged following heavy rain. Any development in these areas would be contrary to paragraph 100 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Support West Horndon development proposals, but questions regarding viability, sustainability and deliverability. Dunton proposal fails four of five Green Belt purposes (NPPF Para 80) and would:

1. Encourage sprawl of Basildon/Laindon
2. Potentially merge Laindon with East Horndon and West Horndon
3. Further encroach upon countryside, creating continuous development south of A127, from Nevendon to A128.
4. Fail to encourage recycling of derelict and other urban land.

Questions over deliverability of Dunton Garden Suburb. Cross-boundary Development Plan could not be adopted until Local Plan adopted by Basildon Council (late 2018). Insufficient detail to demonstrate deliverability within 15 years.

Focus of this submission is centred on the A12 Corridor and key housing sites.

However, questions are raised over the deliverability of Dunton Garden Suburb; Basildon Borough Council's Local Plan process has been setback with the Council not expecting adoption until late 2018. Brentwood Borough Council will not be able to adopt their Cross-boundary Development Plan Document until it is agreed and adopted by Basildon Borough Council. The proposals do not provide sufficient detail to demonstrate the deliverability of such a scheme and whether there is reasonable prospect of delivery of the 2,500 dwellings within the 15 year period.
