Representation ID: 16285
Received: 18/05/2016
Respondent: Dunton Community Association
Agent: Dunton Community Association
Dunton is an unsuitable location for large scale development because the development would:
- harm the character and setting of the historic village of Dunton Wayletts
- ruin the setting of All Saint's Church, East Horndon
- severely harm the setting of several other listed buildings
- local infrastructure could not absorb the increase in population and vehicle movements
- reduce public access to open space
- reduce oppurtunities for open air pursuits
- bisect and important wildlife connectivity corridor
- intrude into Mardyke Valley, a valued landscape
- frustrate the objectives of Thames Chase Community Forest
- unaceptably close to an SSSI
- threaten ancient woodlands
- lie in a high risk flood zone
- the land is in good productive agriculture use
- the Dunton area is required to be left undeveloped for aviation purposes.
