The reuse of previously development land is consistent with national planning policy guidance and should be encouraged. West Horndon village is a highly accessible and sustainable location. It benefits from local village services, public transport links and quick access to the A127.

The proposed density of 29DPH for the West Horndon site allocations is too low and consideration should be given to increasing the density to the region of 50-60DPH. To artificially restrict the density of the site allocation would not be consistent with national policy or to make the most effective use of previously developed land.

The minimum requirement should be removed in lieu of a viability led approach to ensure the requirement for affordable housing is balanced and the delivery of development sites is not stalled, in line with paragraph 173 of the NPPF.
