North of the Borough does not represent a suitable location for growth beyond local needs. Attractive countryside character and scattered villages should be protected. No suitable transport connections or local services.
A12 Corridor represents the most sustainable location for housing growth. Council description underestimates characteristics to support future growth, such as existing excellent rail infrastructure and future planned Crossrail development, which will provide major investment enhancing sustainability credentials for housing growth.
A127 Corridor is overestimated in terms of ability to accommodate new growth. Area only contains one settlement with access to existing infrastructure. We do not support significant growth here.
