Respondent: Southend on Sea Council
With regard to additional housing development and infrastructure, Southend Borough Council notes that the A127, alongside the A130 and A13, forms a key route into Southend and this route is very important for business and residents within Southend and the wider area. As such it is vital that any development proposed in proximity to the strategic transport network provides the necessary infrastructure improvements and mitigation to support the additional growth; and to not have a negative impact on the strategic highway network. In additional, measures that promote the use of public transport and alternatives to the car should also be considered as part of these new developments and incorporated into policy.
