Respondent: Essex County Council
National infrastructure projects of relevance have been realised in the Governments Road Building Strategy which includes commitments to the A12, which seek to improve its long term reliability and capacity.
Other national infrastructure projects of relevance include the Lower Thames Crossing following which a range of potential Implications / Opportunities need to be assessed and factored in to the further modelling in support of the Brentwood Local Plan, regardless of the LTC route. In respect of modelling Highways England, acknowledge within their consultation that further modelling is required, and this is strongly supported by ECC.
ECC strongly agrees with the proposal for a new Crossing at Location C, east of Gravesend and Tilbury.
