Draft Local Plan

The Dunton Hills Garden Suburb Statement of Consultation, published in December 2015 says that it "... will inform both Basildon Borough Council and Brentwood Borough Council's decision about whether there are planning merits to consider a cross-boundary development option at Dunton in their respective Local Plans ...".
The consultation itself was carried out in January and February 2015. 84% of those who responded objected to the proposal; only 6% supported it.
This looks like a project that is going nowhere, and there must be very serious doubts over when this proposed allocation will start to make a contribution to the housing needs identified in Policy 5.2.
