There is not enough open space provision around Dunton for any building. It is greenbelt protected by law to stop urban sprawl. The village is in the Doomesday Book. Improving infrastructure to meet demands of building in this area will cause the loss of more green belt, ie widening A127. Lots of wildlife in the area will suffer, from land loss and ongoing building work.
I live near by the area proposed for development as the Dunton Garden Suburb. This is an area of greenbelt, and it is there to protect us against urban sprawl, and is supposed to be protected in law. There is inadequate infrastructure in the area to cope with additional housing, and the A127 is far from adequate at dealing with the current number of users along the A127 corridor, without addition strain. Any building work, if it were to go ahead, would destroy the limited open space we have. Any improved infrastructure (ie. widened A127) would increase the loss of land.
