Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13746

Received: 24/02/2016

Respondent: Mr James Toward

Representation Summary:

Ingatestone and Mountnessing cannot sustain the addition of a further 60 homes.

Train transport infrastructure (parking and seat availability) cannot support this additional demand. Nor can the educational and medical infrastructure of these parishes accommodate the increase in demand that would come with the addition of this housing.

The High Street is already congested and has limited paid and free parking. Site traffic will increase congestion and danger to pedestrians during build and add to pressure on the High Street if it were to continue to a finished site with the addition of a further 60 households cars.
