In our view there is also a sixth reasonable alternative option to investigate as part of the evidence base which could be designed to concentrate on the delivery of Brentwood Borough Council's requirements only. A standalone settlement at Dunton which is not dependent on the delivery of other land to the east in the adjacent Borough Council area or on the development of land to the west of the A128. Assessment of such an option does not have to commit the Council at this stage to such a form of development but in order to make any subsequent plan 'sound' an objective assessment should be undertaken.

An alternative of having Dunton as a standalone development could potentially bring forward all the benefits and advantages discussed in Appendix A on land wholly within Brentwood Borough and in one ownership. This would ensure that, with other land elsewhere in the Borough, the Brentwood Borough Local Plan delivered its full housing need in a sustainable location and form rather than relied upon the potential uncertainties associated with the delivery of land in a different local plan in a different local planning authority area. It could also be designed to maintain a meaningful and sustainable separation between any new development and the existing village of West Horndon.

Site 200 (Dunton Garden Suburb) is preferred to other sites as it would give a large number of housing in one location, although it would put a strain on surrounding road and rail networks. If it were to go ahead it would need a train station, otherwise residents would drive to neighbouring stations at West Horndon or Laindon which would cause chaos at peak times. Laindon does not have enough allocated parking and there would need to be better bus services.

Site 200 [Entire Land East of A128, south of A127] massively preferred to 037 [A/B/C - Land West of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], 038 [A/B - Land East of Thorndon Avenue, West Horndon], and 126 [Land East of West Horndon, South of Station Road]. Site 200 has the greater potential to afford future benefit for the village of West Horndon.

Sunton Garden suburb sets out recognition of housing demand in the area however a spread of housing needs to be provided across the borough in order to meet the housing needs of different areas, the housing need of Hutton/Shenfield/Brentwood and the wider borough will not be met from the delivery of Dunton Garden
Suburb.

In addition the scale and strategic nature of the allocation of the development will present the council with significant challenges in the delivery of housing in the short term. Paragraph 47 of the NPPF to boost significantly the supply of housing, local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years' worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% to ensure choice and competition in the market for land.The infrastructure requirement will be considerable and is not likely to come forward until later in the plan period.

In order to comply with paragraph 47 of the NPPF it is imperative that the Council provide choice and competition for market land, which can only be achieved through the allocation of a range of different sites, not just Dunton Garden Suburb.

Site 200 would be preferred to 037, 038 and 126 to provide the required housing within the Borough, whilst managing growth sustainably. Given the level of infrastructure that would be required this would need to be managed sustainably and appropriatly to safeguard the existing community, and create a self sufficient community within the Garden Suburb. It would be necessary to ensure a sufficient buffer of land is maintained between the Garden Suburb and the land surrounding West Horndon village. This could be achieved through creating a woodland area from the west of the Garden Suburb, up to Thorndon Country Park.

This site is supported in terms of recognition of housing demans but housing needs to be spread across the borough in order to meet the housing needs of different areas. The scale and strategic nature will present the Council with significant challenges of delievery in the short term (as per the NPPF paragraph 47). The infrastructure requirement will be considerable and is not likely to come forward until later in the plan period. Land such as Rayleigh road hutton could deliver 60-65 dwellings could be delivered without major infrastructure within 0-5 years of the plan.

The infrastructure requirement for large strategic sites as Dunton will be considerable and a development of this size is not likely to come forward until later in the plan period. To comply with paragraph 47 of the NPPF the Council provide choice and competition for market land, which can only be achieved through the allocation of a range of different sites, not just Dunton Garden Suburb. The allocation of land at Kelvedon Hatch will help support the rural community, and will be of a scale that can be delivered in the short term to meet the housing requirements for the early years of the plan period (prior to Dunton Garden Suburb) and assist in providing the choice and competition for market land as set out within the NPPF.

Support need to allocate significant additional land for housing at Dunton Garden Suburb. However, an adequate spread of housing should be provided across Brentwood Borough in order to meet demand in different areas and provide a range of deliverable sites. Proposed scale and strategic nature of development presents significant short-term housing delivery challenges given infrastructure provision and likely completions later in the plan period.

We do not support significant growth in A127 corridor, including development at Dunton Garden Suburb. The area only contains one settlement, West Horndon (large village category 3 of 4 in Brentwood Settlement Hierarchy Preferred Options July 2013) and existing services are limited. Support balanced spatial strategy for the Borough which provides new growth across all settlements but is focused in the most sustainable locations, such as Brentwood. Focusing housing in a single location, such as at Dunton Garden Suburb, would mean development is less evenly distributed and less capable of responding to borough needs.

No evidence to suggest that strategic scale mixed-use employment allocations, such as that suggested at Dunton Garden Suburb [site ref 200], would meet occupier demands and such an allocation would not be directly located to the strategic road network. Capacity at other A127 junctions is rightly identified as requiring further evidence if initial Dunton Garden Suburb options are to be deliverable.

A review of the OAHN for Basildon District similarly points towards a significant increase in growth that is only now beginning to be explored. The Local Plan for Basildon is now delayed and work on technical assessments to provide an evidence base is only just beginning. Proposed development at Dunton if found to be sustainable and achievable could not be delivered for some eight years from planning approval. It is therefore anticipated that first occupations would be unlikely before 2024.

We contend that West Horndon remains the only realistic location in the Borough for a strategic development to cater for jobs and homes that is deliverable in the first part of the Plan period. This is demonstrated in the emerging Consultation document and the Sustainability Appraisal to accompany it. Furthermore, land to the east of the settlement can be delivered early in the plan period.

There are transport and access issues for Dunton, the Duntonm roundabout is not able to take the required increase in traffic; alternative access is not feasible due to safety issues and there wouold be adverse impact on local roads. A new railway station at Dunton is not feasible; new bus routes to and from the new station and at least one of the existing stations would be needed. Where mitigation is feasible, this would come at a significant cost.

Consideration of the visual and landscape impact of Dunton has been made in the landscape and visual impact, urban design and Green Belt perspective undertaken by Rummey Design. Currently there is a lack of detail regarding the Dunton proposals that limits the ability to undertake a full landscape and visual impact assessment. From the information available it is clear that there are many potentially adverse outcomes that would result from large scale development in this location in terms of urban and landscape design, landscape and visual impact, green belt, flood risk and, land use and soils.

The 'West Horndon Strategic Allocation' and the 'Dunton Garden Suburb' alternative must relate fully to the existing pattern of settlements, the hierarchy of centres and the available infrastructure identified in the Borough in order to be sustainable. In order to make the West Horndon allocation, or the Dunton Garden Suburb sustainable and viable (in accordance with all aspects of the NPPF definition of sustainable development) there would be a need for significant new social, community, transport, environmental and green infrastructure to be delivered which are costly requirements and will take some significant time to be provided and become fully established to the benefit of the future residents, with consequent implications for the timing of delivery of housing.

Allocation of Dunton is praised in terms of its recognition os housing demand, however an adequate spread of housing needs to be provided across the Borough in order to meet the housing needs of different areas. Delivery of this scale of housing in the short term is challenging and in line with the NPPF the Council will need to identify specific deliverable sites with a 5% buffer to ensure choose and competition in the market for land.
