Draft Local Plan

The Dunton Garden Village proposal is strategic issue of cross-boundary significance
and preparation of policies in the Plan should follow the advice set out in the NPPF. The lack of consistency between Basildon Borough Council's Local Plan and the Brentwood Local Plan is inconsistent with the advice which clearly expects authorities to work together to provide joint planning policies. Without consistency with Basildon Borough Council for the allocation, the proposal represents an unsupported development in the Green Belt that would compromise the principles of land being within the Green Belt and fail to connect with the existing infrastructure in Brentwood Borough, relying on services in Basildon Borough. It is considered that the policy has not been positively prepared and is not justified by the evidence base.
