Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18098

Received: 08/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Gordon Bird

Representation Summary:

S05 states 'Manage development growth to that capable of being accommodated by existing or proposed infrastructure, services or facilities'. This is a misleading statement - much as I would like to see it achieved. At present traffic exceeds capacity on all main roads. There are appear to be no plans to address this - therefore the objective cannot be achieved.
The present Plan (adopted 25th Aug 2005) had a similar objective. There has been no significant road infrastructure introduced in years - Brentwood road network is essentially the same as 45 years ago.
