Once Crossrail arrives at Brentwood and Shenfield stations, it will act as a magnet to people, so they will be looking for housing in the A12 corridor. In addition, the A12 is being expanded to 3 lanes. It makes sense that these areas are where the development should be.
Crossrail is already being built, which eliminates a large slice of infrastructure cost associated with the new development.
It makes sense to direct this investment to into new development that will benefit the most people. Given that most people will be looking to live near Brentwood and Shenfield for the above reasons, this is where the new development and infrastructure spending should take place.
