Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13507

Received: 23/03/2016

Respondent: Mrs Helen Gabell

Representation Summary:

The NPPF for Green Belt shows that the proposed development of 2500 properties, plus employment and traveller sites on Green Belt at Dunton is not sustainable, as a loss of the very limited areas of Green Belt South of the A127 virtually links the areas of the London Borough of Havering through to Southend, so the LDP doesn't prevent neighbouring towns merging with one another. Green Belt is not decided on because of its high landscape value, or even if it is all accessible to the public, but because of the limited supply in this area.
