Representation ID: 18310

Received: 12/03/2018

Respondent: Essex County Council

Representation Summary:

Highways & Transportation comment -
Need for clear, tested mitigation for impact on highway network, especially the A127 and A128.

It will also be important to ensure that the design layout of the sites facilitates sustainable access, ideally with bus gates or other interventions designed to maximise such access whilst giving these modes a journey time advantage.
