Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15585
Received: 10/05/2016
Respondent: Castle Point Borough Council
Te Plan does not indicate what transport improvements will be undertaken to accommodate the growth planned within its borough. Further work would be needed to identify what impacts the proposed developments will have on the existing transport networks, and how to mitigate these impacts.
For example the proposed development at Dunton Hills Garden Village involves:
2,500 new homes;
at least 5 ha of employment land;
local shops;
community facilities;
schools; and
healthcare services
The Plan acknowledges that this development would have an impact on the A127 Corridor, but it does not indicate what mitigation measures would be put in place.
