A development on the west side of Basildon would need a sufficient buffer of land between new development and West Horndon. A woodland area could be created, reaching up to Thorndon Country Park.

Q4 is not a fairly worded question and it attempts to direct responses towards the A127.

Question the statement that the A127 corridor has greater capacity than the A12 corridor. By "greater capacity" is the document referring to larger areas of open Green Belt?

Does the proposal at Dunton mean that the residential development at West Horndon could be limited to the existing industrial estates? This is West Horndon Parish Councils preferred strategy and whilst the more limited number of new homes would still significantly alter the nature of West Horndon village, it would retain its current "small community" feel, with surrounding farmland, open spaces and preserved nature.

The Parish Council maintains the view that strategic development of the land immediately adjacent to the village would destroy the current village setting and environment

Brentwood Borough Council must use the duty to co-operate 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

Yes. Given the level of projected housing need within the Borough, sustainable development requires Brentwood Borough Council to consider all available and suitable sites across the rest of the Borough. The A12 Corridor has the ability to meet a significant portion of the Borough's increased housing needs, and suitable sites should be included in any spatial strategy. Assement of the potential for housing provisions here should be made. Dunton or West Horndon may not be delivereable. A range of different sized sites is more deliverable and will maintain a 5 year supply of housing.

This is a convoluted and slightly confusing question. Is local need a reference to the Borough's needs or the needs of individual villages? This is also the only question in the whole document that has a reference to Green Belt.

Where there are available, suitable sites, brownfield should always be considered above greenfield sites. There may be instances where the release of small amounts of Green Belt land around villages provides opportunities for these villages to grow in a sustainable manner. However, this should only be considered once brownfield options have been exhausted, and where the development would create a positive and balanced impact on the community. Releasing all of the Green Belt land around West Horndon village for example would not create a positive or balanced impact on to the existing community.

There may be some isolated instances where limited development in the Green Belt provides benefits which exceed the harm they cause. E.g. In West Horndon the current access to the park is limited. A small amount of development which improves the access is an example of such a possible development.
