P43 Para 4.19 States that development should have the potential to create a defensible Green belt boundary.The proposal for 550 houses on land "north of London Rd" is unsound in that it creates a boundary that is difficult to defend until the A1245 road is reached. A better alternative would be to locate some proposed brownfield sites in Rawreth. The remainder could be located on smaller sites in Rayleigh which have been ruled out by the preference for this larger area.
.This would meet the guidance in PPG2 "to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built up areas" preventing the eventual coalescence of Rayleigh, Rawreth and Shotgate
