Respondent: Thurrock Borough Council

Representation Summary:

The Dunton Hill Garden Village would result in a significant Green Belt release leaving a limited gap between Basildon and West Horndon. Other proposals such as a significant urban extension west of Basildon together with the Dunton Hill Garden Village would also result in potential coalescence and urbanisation of the A127 corridor resulting in significant loss to the openness and strategic function of the Green Belt. Further Green Belt releases for employment land (Brentwood Enterprise Park) taken together with Dunton Hills Garden Village will also contribute to a cumulative impact on the openness of the Green Belt in this corridor.
