Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Representation ID: 1252

Received: 01/10/2013

Respondent: Mrs Susan Walker

Representation Summary:

CP13
The proposed 'Park & Walk' facility for Crossrail will increase the amount of traffic through Senfield in all directions which becomes congested at time now. If the existing car parks are also redeveloped the traffic flow will be drastically slowed with consequences for air quality etc. (DM33). The bus network in the Brentwood area is woefully inadequate and until this is addressed the target of increasing public transport usage will not be met. With an aging population this should be a priority.

DM23 - I particularly object to the housing development on Land adj. to the Adult Education Centre, Rayleigh Road. As a long term student at the College I find it is difficult to park there on occasions. If 11 dwellings are built on the existing car park it will become impossible to accommodate students' cars in the remaining space. As this is a residential area there is no on-street parking. The College is a valuable local public resource which must not be lost and, I believe, is also a listed building and its appearance & facilities should not be detracted from.

DM38 - The Local Plan has schemes for building on at least 5 existing car parks/garages excluding the proposed William Hunter Way cinema development. Brentwood desperately needs accessible, affordable parking spaces, not a reduction in the number of surface parking areas available.
