Draft Local Plan

Respondent: Mr Martin Clark
The general change in focus from piecemeal development to concentrating on existing hubs where there is an existing support infrastructure is good for retaining the character of the villages that makes this part of Essex what it is. Plus it is cost effective as it avoids the cost of improving transport links, schools, doctors, etc. in the more remote areas. I would imagine the costs per user to provide these services would be extremely high.
Smaller infill developments of 2/3 houses would be acceptable and not overburden exiting support infrastructures. Maximising the use of available brownfield sites and protection of the greenbelt is also important. Centralising most of our housing need at Dunton Village, whilst not ideal, seems the most painless of options especially with the existing road and rail infrastructure being local to the development.
