Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15647
Received: 10/05/2016
Respondent: Basildon Borough Council
Brentwood Borough Council has produced a draft Development Options - Highway Modelling. This was done by independent transport consultants and it is not clear how Essex County Council, as the local highways authority was engaged in the modelling process. Consequently, Basildon Borough Council has concerns with regards to the way in which the modelling takes into account planned growth in neighbouring authorities, or planned improvements/changes to the current highway network. Furthermore, whilst the document looks at the changes in junction capacity arising from the four development options tested, it does not look at ways to mitigate the impacts of the development proposed in the Draft Local Plan.
