The Plan allocates 35% of the Authority's OAN to the Dunton area. Such a proposal is clumsy in the extreme and does not represent proper and thoughtful planning. Such a proposal is clumsy in the extreme and does not represent proper and thoughtful planning.
The Plan is unbalanced in that it fails to distribute the loss of Green Belt land evenly throughout the borough. The Authority allocates 63% of its Green Belt release at Dunton in the absence of Green Belt assessment.
The Authority has cynically offloaded its housing and other needs to an edge of the Borough where a neighouring borough will shoulder the infrastructure burden. Basildon Council, which the Authority sees fit to exploit, already faces insurmountable infrastructure problems. The landscape assessment of the area south of the A127 is misguided.
