A request from West Horndon Parish Council for an extension of time to the SGOC consultation has been turned down, but agreement was given for the Parish Council to submit a supplementary response based on new and additional information becoming available. The West Horndon Parish Council submitted a response accordingly.

Support the fact that the Borough has taken a step back to consider the broad options for growth, rather than suggest a strategic allocation at West Horndon. It is noted that the consultation document now refers to greater housing numbers, some 5,500 than in the Preferred Options, "principally it is understated, as a response to comments from neighbouring authorities."

Another concern is that the supporting information to both consultations fails to consider key infrastructure issues in any detail. Consulting on spatial strategies and potential sites without such information prevents responders from providing a fully informed view on the options.

Comments from West Horndon are to be considered alongside the accompanying document setting out comments in respect of the Dunton Garden Suburb consultation.

The two documents (SGO and Dunton GS) should be considered together within the same timescale. The two consultations are inextricably linked, and closing one before the other reduces the ability for reasoned and balanced responses across all of the key issues being consulted on. The feedback from residents to the Parish Council has been that many are puzzled by the Borough Council appearing to want to separate comments on the proposed "garden suburb" from the document setting out growth options. Many have found themselves having to repeat objections to ensure that they are heard.

The Parish Council maintain their objections to major development at West Horndon. Such objections followed extensive consultation with residents, these should be considered as part of the comment on the SGO. (Appendix 2).

The Parish have kept local residents informed about the consultation process and urged everyone to respond with their views. Pointing out that a strong response from West Horndon will once again help ensure that the views of our community are listened to when Brentwood are developing their next draft of the Local Development Plan.

In light of Brentwoods challenge to meet housing demand, the Parish wants to continue a working relationship with the Borough and progress a neighbourhood plan for the village. The Parish Council support the protection of the Green Belt to prevent urban creep as considered in the NPPF. Where Green Belt has to be sacrificed to meet housing obligations, it is essential that only the minimum amount of land is sacrificed, with minimum harm. All the consultation responses from West Horndon should be considered in light of this.

There should be more evidence in respect of environmental and transport matters to inform the plan. There is no indication at the moment as to when such evidence might be available.
