Strategic Growth Options

Representation Summary:
For all sites developed, appropriate infrastructure upgrading must be done.
New railway lines are unecessary, but Crossrail will expand Brentwood and Shenfield capacity - and a new, upgraded railway station will be needed on the Southend rail line through West Horndon.
Highway networks of A12 and A127 will need improvement as well as new interchanges for expanded housing.
Local roads onto these highways and through existing urban areas will need careful planning to provide capacity while minimising bottlenecks and congestion - ideally with traffic encouraged to flow and merge (German style) rather than to queue and wait at unnecessary stops.
