We agree that "an overall transport strategy" is required "particularly with regard to the potential strategic development impacts on the A127 and beyond" (para 6.6). In respect of Dunton Garden Suburb, we would question whether its impact on the operation of the A127 Dunton Interchange could be fully mitigated in order to realise the allocation of this land based on the proposed quantum in its totality.Significant queues have been observed at this junction at peak times, which suggests that this already operates beyond its capacity. In this respect, we acknowledge and welcome that "Brentwood Borough Council are carrying out further transport modelling to inform this strategy" (para 6.6) and we would expect this to be coordinated with Basildon Borough.
