Generally we believe there is much greater scope to release brownfield sites within the Green Belt, some of which will have a capacity of up to 100 dwellings.

Yes. With the industrial estates at West Horndon expected to be developed for primarily residential development, it is key that replacement employment opportunities are provided within the local area (A127 Corridor). These must however be accessible via public transport as well as via road.

Yes. Whilst local shops need to be provided at the village level, primary "destination" shopping locations should be focused within existing town centres. Town Centre First retail development must also be accompanied (or preferably, proceeded by) appropriate infrastructure improvements including regular and reliable public transport to all areas including the more rural ones, car parking facilities, and improvements to the road network to prevent unmanageable congestion.

Yes. West Horndon village currently benefits from a small community park on Cadogan Avenue. As part of any potential future development within the village (and indeed, the Dunton Garden Suburb), there are significant opportunities to enhance this park, both from a facilities and access perspective.

In this respect we would also refer to the Mid Essex Landscape Character Assessment (September 2006). It refers to the surrounding countryside as Horndon Fenland which it says is characterised as follows:-

* Large arable and pasture fields.

* Predominantly flat topography.

* Mature hedgerow field boundaries (sometimes gappy), which contain several single mature trees.

* Relatively sparse settlement pattern.

* Views to surrounding wooded hills to the north.

* Long distance views to pylons and Tilbury power station to the south.

Development must not increase the challenges to the Borough's infrastructure (i.e. it must be small enough not to create a significant demand on current infrastructure, or big enough to generate money to create/improve infrastructure to meet the new need).

Transport focus is on Crossrail and links to Brentwood Town Centre. With potential development within the A127 Corridor, a completely fresh transport strategy is needed to consider the impact of Brentwood and Basildon's development along the Shoeburyness to Fenchurch Street rail line, and other development in other authorities. (cumulative impact that may not be considered by looking at just Brentwood and Basildon's plans alone), and consider how residents of the Garden Suburb travel to West Horndon, Laindon and Basildon, and how West Horndon residents travel to the Garden Suburb, Brentwood and Basildon town centres. The transport strategy will need to incorporate public transport to local employment locations with redevelopment of the West Horndon industrial estates.
