Plans for an eight home development have been refused by the council due to concerns about overdevelopment.
Developer, Smart Planning had submitted the plans for the homes on land to the rear of Conifers Brentwood Road and adjacent Orchard House, Peartree Lane in Bulphan.
But Thurrock Council has thrown out the plans.
The officers report states: "The proposed development would, by reason of its scale, siting and location within the rural setting result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt which is by definition harmful.
"The proposed development would, by reason of its design, density and urban layout, appear as overdevelopment within this rural setting given the surrounding pattern of development and sporadic nature of buildings."
