Our client wishes to point out that the provision of retail and commercial leisure floorspace in West Horndon will not be delivered unless new homes are constructed in this location in order to create the necessary critical mass and demand to sustain its existence. This level of demand is likely to be generated through the construction of new homes in West Horndon.

Our client seeks Brentwood Council's agreement that the 5 hectares of new employment land (as part of the West Horndon Strategic Allocation) is not identified on the Policies Map on the West Horndon Industrial Estate site, but located on a new site that benefits from much better access to the A127 and M25. This would make much better sense from a highway network, infrastructure and accessibility point of view.

Our client supports the reference in CP4 to the regeneration of the employment land in West Horndon to deliver housing. Our client also agrees that there is scope for further housing capacity in this location. In the event that Brentwood Council's preferred option is not progressed, our client would prefer Alternative Approach 1 (Redevelop for housing with supporting community, health and retail facilities) rather than Alternative Approach 2 (Redevelop to provide a high tech business park with some residential and community facilities).

Our client supports the reference in Policy CP3 to a new mixed use development in West Horndon, but seeks Brentwood Council's agreement to refer to this Strategic Site Allocation as a "residential-led mixed use development".

Support identification of new homes to be constructed on land to the west of West
Horndon. Our client's site, which is part of the West Horndon Industrial Estate and forms part of the land identified as part of the Strategic Allocation, is a brownfield site that is located in close proximity from West Horndon train station and is therefore a highly sustainable and accessible location that would be ideal for residential development. In our opinion, this allocation is supported by the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and will assist Brentwood Council in meeting its significant housing needs.

Our client does not support the Alternative Approach or Alternative Allocations suggested.

Site 020 would be available and deliverable in the financial year 2015/2016, therefore the trajectory should be brought forward to 2015/16-2019/20. Suggest the annual construction on site is increased to 64+ dwellings per annum (320 over five years) to reflect comments below regarding density.

The Plan suggests approximately 250 dwellings could be constructed on Site 020 (equivalent 39 dwellings per hectare). However, because this site is close to the settlement centre and train station, a greater density could be achieved. The Council should increase the approximate density to a minimum of 320 dwellings (equivalent of 50 dwellings per hectare).
