Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13690

Received: 23/03/2016

Respondent: Mr Sasha Millwood

Representation Summary:

Since Crossrail is almost irrelevant (unless travelling to Harold Wood-Maryland inclusive) as it would still be slower than the fast trains from Shenfield in all cases (that is to say, it is faster to get a fast train and then change at Stratford/Liverpool Street), there is no case for providing more parking than the already very generous amount in the vicinity of Shenfield station. Should more parking be required, turning one of the existing car parks into a multi-storey structure would be a preferable solution.
