Go for Dunton.
Has better chance of raising adequate funding for essential infrastructure.
The loss of greenbelt will be something future generations will curse us for.
I would wish to support the Dunton Garden Suburb as the best way forward. This is due to the fact that this area has the potential to provide a far better infrastructure for a major development than any of the other offerings.
The size of the development would liberate far better funds flow to justify some of the essential but expensive item of infrastructure. It may even be possible to provide a public transport system that would begin to limit our collective dependency on cars. The "Laindon Station" suggestion is a vital element in achieving success.
Losing a vast area of greenbelt is an extremely high price to pay but if we must accommodate a huge number of incomers over 15 years (my estimate 6000 x 3 x 80% = 14,400) then "needs must when the devil drives".
