As a result of the infrastructure requirements associated with the Brentwood Enterprise Park it is unlikely that this will be delivered in the first five years of the plan period. Similarly, the employment land at Dunton is unlikely to come forward prior to the housing because of the associated infrastructure and the funds required, as such the delivery of this is unlikely to come forward in the first five years, if this strategic allocation is progressed.

Without the delivery of sufficient employment land, the existing operators at West Horndon will have no reasonable alternative site. The sites at East Horndon (187) are immediately available and provide a reasonable alternative for the existing operators at West Horndon, allowing the West Horndon site to come forward within the identified timeframe for housing.

The Council needs to identify reasonable alternative sites that meet the needs of displaced operators at West Horndon as well as delivering in time to allow for the release of housing in line with the trajectory.

Both the lands at Codham Hall and Childerditch Industrial Estate suffer serious issues over access to and from the sites which not only makes them unsuitable in terms of highways but will also make them undesirable to prospective occupiers. They are already developed and it is questionable to what extent new employment floorspace can be accommodated on the sites in a sustainable way which retains the existing operators in situ.

Site 187 have been assessed as part of the Council's Assessment of Potential Housing, Employment and Mixed Use Sites in the Green Belt

The Assessment of the Greenfield site, suggests the site is not contained. This is incorrect, as it has boundaries formed by the A128, A127 and the Tilbury Road. As well as the surrounding roads, there are substantial embankments and extensive screening which provide a very clear boundary. It is not considered likely that the development at West Horndon or Dunton would result in development close to the site and as such any concerns regarding the potential coalescence with the adjacent settlements as a result of the development of this site, are unsubstantiated.
