The infrastructure requirement for large strategic sites such as Dunton will be considerable and a development of this size is not likely to come forward until later in the plan period. To comply with paragraph 47 of the NPPF the Council should provide choice and competition for market land, which can only be achieved through the allocation of a range of different sites.
The allocation of land at Shenfield will not only help support the rural community, but it will be of a scale that can be delivered in the short term to meet the housing requirements for the early years of the plan period (prior to Dunton Garden Suburb being delivered).
