The 'West Horndon Strategic Allocation' and the 'Dunton Garden Suburb' alternative must relate fully to the existing pattern of settlements, the hierarchy of centres and the available infrastructure identified in the Borough in order to be sustainable. In order to make the West Horndon allocation, or the Dunton Garden Suburb sustainable and viable (in accordance with all aspects of the NPPF definition of sustainable development) there would be a need for significant new social, community, transport, environmental and green infrastructure to be delivered which are costly requirements and will take some significant time to be provided and become fully established to the benefit of the future residents, with consequent implications for the timing of delivery of housing.
