Yes.
- Development must not increase the challenges to the Borough's infrastructure.
- The focus appears to be on Crossrail, but given the scale of proposals within the A127 corridor a fresh transport strategy needs to be developed. This will need to consider implications to the C2C line, including the impact of other Council's plans.This must also consider how new and existing residents will travel between the Garden Suburb and West Horndon, Laindon and Basildon.
- Development along the A12 or A127 will need to consider impact on the A128 which links these both.
- The detail on other infrastructure in the document is limited and more detail will be necessary
- Timing of infrastructure will need a stronger focus to prevent negative impacts to existing residents.
- Impacts of the Thames Gateway must be considered.
- Impacts of future airport expansion must be considered.
- Impacts of Paramount Leisure Park must be considered.
- Increased use of the Dartford Crossing affects the M25/A13/A12/A127
