The Objectively Assessed Need isidentified as 360 per year for the next 15 years in the SGO document, the Preferred Options document rejected this level of growth. It is difficult to believe that circumstances have changed, in a short space of time, to a degree that now makes such a high level of growth acceptable. Therefore with evidence not having been published, the Parish question whether the Borough can confidentially claim that the housing demand has been objectively assessed. The SGO document does not off a question in this respect, appearing to suggest that the matter is outside their hands.

Development of this site would change the existing West Horndon village, and put strain on local residents and infrastructure. The development this would represent within the Green Belt would be disproportionate in scale, inappropriate and represent significant harm to the local environment, including flooding, harm which would not be outweighed by the need for housing within the Borough. The open ended mature of "further capacity" is misleading, inappropriate in the absence of evidence. Within the statutory planning process, capacity should be reassessed at the time of any new LDP being prepared and not before.

The brownfield sites 020 and 021 could be developed in a positive manner for the village, although at a lower density than the 500 homes indicated in the 5 year land supply. The present infrastructure would be inadequate to support this expansion.

The consultation document makes no reference to the major flood problems that would occur if development took place on any of the West Horndon sites.

In principle it is felt that Dunton Garden Suburb would be preferred to sites 037, 038 and 126 as a means to provide the required level of housing within the Borough, whilst managing this growth in a sustainable manner. With 6,000 houses proposed, are concerned whether it is likely to be a viable and deliverable option, would require major investment in infrastructure and technical assessment of impacts, and whether suggested road improvements, or a new station can be provided to ensure that it becomes a sustainable and self-sufficient community.
