Respondent: Countryside Properties

Agent: Andrew Martin Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

The 2016 Green Belt Study concluded that Dunton is one of 7 sites that makes a 'high' contribution to the Green Belt. The site was "not contained", have "significant separation reduction" and harmful effects on functional countryside. Land at West Horndon only make a 'moderate' contribution to Green Belt. Development on land to the east of the settlement would decrease the gap to Basildon but still retain a functional open space. There would be some loss of countryside if developed. Land to the north-east would lead to larger encroachment of the countryside but not to the coalescence with other towns.
