Dunton performs well in terms of economic and employment objectives, as well as community and well-being considerations, and is highlighted as having potential for large scale growth.
The SA highlights issues with West Horndon providing such a large amount of new homes:
* Poor access to services and employment;
* Potential Impacts to Thomdon Park Site of Scientific Interest;
* Potential Impacts to Grade I Listed Old Thomdon Hall, Thomdon Park Conservation Area and Scheduled Ancient Monument; and
* Potential surface water flooding Issues.
Whilst West Homdon can accommodate some growth during the plan period, the focus for new development within the A127 corridor should be given to the Dunton Garden Suburb.
