Representation Summary:

Identification of A127 Corridor as area with greater capacity for growth is supported. This reflects landscape analysis. The site should be identified in the Plan as an opportunity area reflecting the opportunity to meet future employment needs and create a gateway to the Borough.

Reference to congestion problems on the A127 is supported, this will be a key challenge in the emerging plan. Brentwood Enterprise Park would help avoid need for travel along the A127 providing direct access to other areas of the country via the M25. Previous highway analysis (updated work attached) identifies sufficient highway capacity.
