Our client would support a comprehensively planned solution to the movement network in this area [Dunton Hills Garden Village] and the proposed Masterplan should include improved east-west links as a key principle. It's currently envisaged that the principal access would be off the A128 but new links to H10a and H10b could be provided as alternative access points to the development.
It is vital that any development within Brentwood to the west of Basildon is fully integrated across the Borough boundary which in transport terms is an arbitrary distinction. To be sustainable a new residential-led development would need to be linked in terms of sustainable transport modes, walking, cycling and public transport, allowing links to local facilities. Scope to improve bus services and include ancillary facilities to minimise transport demand.
