The site area of "Dunton Garden Suburb" is also located within part of Broad area "A127 Corridor" and West Horndon. The suggestion at Para 3.12 of the SGOC that the Dunton Garden Suburb is an alternative to strategic Greenfield / Green Belt development along the A127 corridor, rather than an addition to, is however not supported. Whilst i t would be inappropriate to allocate both a new settlement and large strategic greenfield allocation within this area, there is a danger that the proposals for Dunton Garden Suburb will unduly erode the open gap between the settlements of West Horndon and Dunton. In addition, supporting a significant urban extension to Dunton may also be perceived as BBC allocating a substantial proportion the Borough's future housing need in one area of the Borough
