Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 1566
Received: 01/10/2013
Respondent: Mr. David Gale
Representation Summary:
CP13 states that "traffic and car parking will be carefully managed to encourage sustainable development" and that "New developments reduce the need to travel". The current Plan proposes 1500 new homes, which potentially means at least 1500 new cars within the village, trying to exit onto the nearby highways and using the main thoroughfares; it is unlikely that the plan would reduce the need to travel.
The proposals do not seem to have investigated the current capacity problems with the A127, and traffic from West Horndon trying to access both the A127 and A128 out of the village.
