Sites 037B, 037C 037A, 020, 021 and 152 (west of West Horndon). Development to the west of West Horndon, in conjunction with the proposed Dunton Garden Suburb concept would result in a potential green buffer between them (currently 048, 038B, 038A and 126). This buffer could enable future opportunities to better connect new residents in an expanded West Horndon/Dunton Garden Suburb to the strategic environmental sites north of the A127 (Thorndon and Warley Woods) without use of a car. The green buffer could also serve as a local strategic green space for West Horndon and Dunton Garden Suburb residents.

Whilst the Community Forest between the A12 and A127 is well served by open space, the connecting together of existing open spaces (as part of Brentwood's green infrastructure delivery) through future development opportunities would be advantageous in ensuring better access for residents to the high quality open space available.

Thames Chase Community Forest is referenced nowhere within the document. This should be factored into plan development relating to green infrastructure (especially in section 5 of the consultation document). There is a Thames Chase Community Forest Plan which is being formally adopted by the Trust in March 2015 (Brentwood officers and members have been invited to the launch of the Plan). This Plan is recognised by the National Planning Policy Framework as a material consideration.

While unable to comment on priorities for infrastructure spending, Thames Chase would be looking to support improved strategic connectivity of green spaces, both as part of a green space network and also to urban areas so that residents have the option of car-free access. Opportunities to deliver such connections should form part of any broader infrastructure debate.
