Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15753
Received: 11/05/2016
Respondent: National Highways
Representation Summary:
It is considered that the provision of a number of strategic residential and employment locations in or close to the town centre could help to encourage sustainable travel and reduce the pressure on the highway network, which is welcomed. In particular, development located in close proximity to Brentwood Rail Station is welcomed as it could encourage long distance trips to shift away from private car use. The A12 highway corridor also runs alongside the railway corridor and therefore the railway provision could help reduce the reliance of new residents and employees on private vehicle use.
