As some notable development is located in close proximity to the A12, we would like Brentwood Borough Council to be mindful of the Road Investment Strategy (RIS) proposals announced and the potential for the widening of the A12, as well as strategic re-routing that could potentially occur as a result of large schemes in the RIS such as the Lower Thames Crossing, which was recently out to consultation. Additionally cross-border impacts will need to be considered from adjacent local authorities' local plans, including how these impacts will be mitigated. I would also draw your attention to the potential for noise and air quality problems and recommend suitable consideration is given to ensure new occupants are not adversely affected.
