Although the M25 works site is well located in terms of access to the highway network, it is poorly located in terms of access by non-car modes. It is neither located within close proximity to facilities or services nor is residential development therefore employees working at this site will make all trips by car. The nearest stations are Brentwood and West Horndon and there is no bus route to either station. As a consequence it will only be attractive to a very limited number of low employment density transport related uses.
The principle of the allocation of this site is questioned, as is the extent of land identified. It is likely that development would be visible from the surrounding area, changing the character of the area, not only covering a far greater area than the former works site, but also having a far greater impact.
