Building these houses will cause traffic chaos. The road can't cope with more residents exiting onto the road.
Its a five mile round trip for residents to get home via other routes and road gets congested when problems on M25 or Brooke Street roundabout.
There is no bus serving the Lane so residents always have to drive
Nags Head Lane is already used as a cut through from Upminster to Brentwood and is notably busy with people speeding when there is trouble on the M25. It is a narrow Lane going under a low railway bridge on a bend where there have been several serious accidents. Building ,more houses here is going to make those problems worse. When the road is shut due to accidents or repairs or delays down to Brook Street its a 5 mile round trip for residents to get home via other routes. A building site at the end of the road exiting into Brook Street will cause traffic chaos whilst the site is being built and will continue once there are multiple residents of new houses exiting onto the Lane. Dunton would be a better location for these additional houses. There is no bus that serves the road and there should be one from the between Harold Wood Station and Brentwood Town centre.so people aren't dependent on using their cars
