Brentwood Borough Council

Comment

Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 15918

Received: 12/05/2016

Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The proposed Dunton Hills Garden Village would be located on the Brentwood/Basildon border. Whilst Brentwood and Basildon Borough Councils jointly consulted on Dunton Garden Suburb in January 2015, Brentwood have decided to take their portion of the potential development forwards separately. This is despite the emerging Basildon Borough Council Local Development Plan incorporating the "Dunton Extension" which would see at least 5.5ha of land west of Basildon allocated for mixed use development.
Whilst separating the two developments may in theory improve deliverability, it raises serious concerns around sustainability when the total area is considered together. Brentwood Borough Council must work with Basildon Borough Council to ensure that any development within and around the border is developed holistically, with sufficient infrastructure provided.
