Respondent: Thurrock Borough Council
Sustainability Appraisal: It is unclear that the options and sites have been comprehensively appraised in terms of access and sustainable transport; uncertain whether the benefits of Crossrail and A12 widening are taken into account; the housing appraisal skews the findings towards meeting the OAN but undermines the location of housing; housing along the A127 corridor would not meet housing needs in Brentwood/Shenfield as well as housing located along A12; a new strategic settlement at Dunton Hills would not be a self-sustaining community. There appear to be some value judgement about certain locations such as opposition to development at West Horndon.
