Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13120

Received: 15/02/2016

Respondent: Mr Chris Hossack

Representation Summary:

Option 1 centre led growth should be avoided as the existing road infrastructure especially around the High St, Ongar Rd, Wilsons Corner, Western Ave is not fit for capacity at existing traffic levels.
Option 2 corridor let growth is preferential. However A12 corridor led growth will not work without improving access to this corridors namely at Brook St and Mountnessing. Access to the A12 corridor via Brentwood Town Centre is unworkable therefore sites at Pilgrims Hatch and Doddinghurst rd should not be considered without a new A12 junction at this location.
