Para 5.30 - Support the council's intention to identify Dunton Hills Garden Village as a Category 2 Village Service Centre. The Garden Village will be developed with sustainability as a core principle of its planning and delivery. Creating a self-sustaining village with the provision of community facilities. The scale of the proposed development will enable the careful planning and delivery of space, facilities and links as an integral part of the new village. This approach compares favourably with the alternative of imposing large scale growth on existing settlements not designed to accommodate substantial extension.

Support the Council's approach to identifying its objectively assessed housing requirements. It demonstrates the council's approach to positively preparing the DLP. the council has recognised the need to provide housing on a range of sites, both within urban areas, where possible and in appropriate and sustainable locations within the Green Belt. We support the clear and integrated approach of selecting a range of sites which link back to the evidenced and justified spatial strategy in policy 5.1. This is noted in paragraph 5.41.

Support the aim of the Council to bring forward land as quickly as possible to meet housing needs swiftly. The detail contained in Appendix 2 of the expected rate at which new homes will be provided is supported. CEG believe that there is a realistic prospect of delivering new homes on the site within the first five years of the plan period. The requirement of policy 7.1 to produce a Masterplan to form part of the Brentwood Local Development Plan is an important element of early delivery. The preparation of a Masterplan and early submission of an application for outline planning permission during the Local Plan preparation process will enable the Promoter, the Council and relevant stakeholders to progress quickly sufficient detail of the scheme.

Commend the approach taken by the Council in the staged preparation of the DLP, with a proportionate evidence base, extensive public consultation over an appropriate period of time and the modification of the spatial strategy and related policies in the light of that evidence and opinion.

We would recommend that the policies relevant to housing in particular remain as flexible as possible and constantly under review. At the very least, policy 5.2 should be amended to ensure the provision of 7,240 new homes in the plan period and the annual average of 362 homes is recognised as a minimum. We suggest an amendment to the first paragraph as follows:
"Provision is made for a minimum of 7,240 new residential dwellings (net) to be built in the borough over the plan period 2013-2033 at a minimum annual average rate of 362 dwellings per year as follows..."

Support the target for providing 5,000 additional jobs. The allocation of at least 5 hectares of employment land at Dunton Hills Garden Village will make a contribution towards this.
Support the recognition that other business sectors will support job growth over the Plan period. Dunton Hills Garden Village as a self-sustaining community will provide a substantial number of additional jobs in the local retail, education and health facilities. It is estimated that Dunton Garden Village will itself create circa 5,000 jobs including approximately 1,200 construction jobs.

Supports the proposal to incorporate new local retail provision in the mixed development at Dunton Hills. The proposal for a new self-sustaining community affords a unique opportunity to provide a range of well-located retail facilities to serve the local requirements of residents. The Master Plan process will identify the most appropriate locations for such uses, properly integrated with the new community and able to help in creating a genuine sense of place and community.

The focus of development on a strategic site such as Dunton Hills in a single ownership with no insurmountable infrastructure difficulties and where development can be master planned and phased easily affords the unique prospect of managing growth in an ordered way to achieve the highest quality and integrated community possible.
Policy states the need to have regard to so much which can be achieved more easily with a single large development than with a larger number of smaller sites.
