Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 14288
Received: 11/04/2016
Respondent: J M Gillingham
Representation Summary:
* Preservation of the Green Belt:
The sitting of this proposed large allocation would be especially detrimental to the Green Belt. The A127 corridor where both the large allocations are being proposed (the A127/M25 junction together with the Dunton Hills Garden Village plus contiguous development in Basildon) would come close to being a developed/semi development wedge through London's Green Belt. The Plan talks about retaining infrastructure to create 'defensible boundaries' to development but in fact the greatest defensible boundary there is to sprawl is a continuous and substantial Green Belt- the very designation that would be eroded by the Plan.
