Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19883

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Inner London Group

Agent: Christopher Wickham Associates

Representation Summary:

Option WGW5 would result in a substantial intrusion into open countryside to the west of Great Wakering. It would harm the openness of the Green Belt. The defensibility of its western boundary is questionable, and development in this location would be relatively remote from local services in Great Wakering. The alternative of providing a compact and contained form of development under WGW1 (and also including the land to the west of Alexandra Road) is clearly preferable in Green Belt, landscape and sustainability terms.
