These three sites provide an opportunity to retain and enhance the bridleway network on a site which currently suffers from enforcement issues, along with improvements dependent upon the land use for the proposed Lower Thames Crossing.
101A, C & D: there is an opportunity via these sites to retain and enhance bridleway 272_183 which runs through the site, crossing the A127. It is a well-used bridleway which has suffered continued enforcement issues over the last few years and the redevelopment of this site, along with any junction works associated with the Lower Thames Crossing, could ensure a safe route that is practical and workable for both bridleway users and business operations. We reiterate our keenness to have an input at an early stage in the redevelopment of this site so that it can be masterplanned effectively.
