A range of issues need to be considered when planning form new infrastructure and so a Infrastructure delivery Plan is essential. Transport being a critical one. The key findings of Odyssey Markides (OM) support the view that there has been a lack of consideration of transport as a topic in the evidence base and SA. Transport as a topic should include the assessment of links to public transport and in particular to railway stations. It should consider travel by all modes including walking and cycling, public transport as well as vehicles. Detailed assessment of the land at Dunton by OM, demonstrates that it would be difficult to deliver a safe and suitable access strategy, and that this would be prohibited by cost and environmental considerations. There is insufficient land to create access from the A127 to the north. Whereas West Horndon already has a station and could become a transport hub.
