We welcome the Council's review of the Green Belt to accommodate future development to meet housing and employment needs. As such, we believe development coming forward along the A127 Corridor and at PADC 5 can be 'feathered' into the wider landscape, creating an attractive environment for those living in the area, as well as providing a more visually coherent and defensible boundary for the extended urban area. For these reasons, we would disagree with the findings of the interim SA Report (January 2015) which states that west of Basildon performs poorly on landscape issues and that part of the 'area has low relative capacity to accommodate development without adverse landscape impacts'.
