The Vision statement should be applauded but the Council's decision to develop a site at Dunton will not benefit the Borough's residents, will not benefit the Town Centre, is not responsive to local needs and does not take advantage of Crossrail. Basildon will benefit most from any development at Dunton. To meet the demands of the Vision the Plan should be looking to allocate throughout the Borough and recognising that developing small areas of Green Belt adjoin or in close proximity of existing settlement will have less of an impact on the Green Belt. The Council do not answer why building over 5,000 homes in total at Dunton will continue to make the Borough a destination of choice.
