It is not that Basildon's Revised Preferred Options SA Report (2013) describes the land now known as DGS as PADC 5 (West Basildon Urban Extension). It considers that it would be likely to have a "significant effect on conserving and enhancing the diverse natural and urban landscape, countryside and green spaces" and concludes that "overall a mixed range of scores are given to the SA objectives which reflects the fact that the PADC is separated from existing services / facilities by existing transport and rail infrastructure which could act as a barrier to new residents and the policy does not include a range of new services and facilities considered to be in keeping with the scale of development". This reinforces the concern that the area earmarked for DGS is not suitable for the scale of development now proposed by DGS
