Support West Horndon development proposals, but questions regarding viability, sustainability and deliverability. Dunton proposal fails four of five Green Belt purposes (NPPF Para 80) and would:
1. Encourage sprawl of Basildon/Laindon
2. Potentially merge Laindon with East Horndon and West Horndon
3. Further encroach upon countryside, creating continuous development south of A127, from Nevendon to A128.
4. Fail to encourage recycling of derelict and other urban land.
Questions over deliverability of Dunton Garden Suburb. Cross-boundary Development Plan could not be adopted until Local Plan adopted by Basildon Council (late 2018). Insufficient detail to demonstrate deliverability within 15 years.
