9.12 is confused and an assessment of Green Belt is required, an assessment of landscape is required to advise on the most appropriate land to release for development. The assessment by Crestwood draws a key conclusion that Dunton makes a high contribution to Green Belt contribution. This evidence base document is in full contravention to the DLP. There is no evidence base in place to have influenced the selection of the DLP's proposals, nor rejection of alternatives, from a Green Belt or Landscape perspective. Countryside Propoerties has commissioned a GB review and identifies areas where GB performs less well, including around Shenfield/Brentwood town, north of Blackmore and to the east and west of West Horndon and at Herongate. The land to the east of West Horndon is not visually connected to Basildon and avoids coalescence.
