The roads in the area are already at the point where at certain times of the day there is extreme congestion. Quite apart from congestion at junctions, especially in the Shenfield Common area the roads around Priest's Lane are already used as a rat run by vehicles seeking to find their way around traffic delays in the wider area. It would be reckless to add to this problem by adding more properties in the Priests Lane area.
I am writing to express my concern at any proposal to develop sites 044 and 178 in your Development Plan.
I am a local resident who uses the roads in that area , and these are already at the point where at certain times of the day there is extreme congestion. Quite apart from congestion at junctions, especially in the Shenfield Common area the roads around Priest's Lane are already used as a rat run by vehicles seeking to find their way around traffic delays in the wider area. It would be reckless to add to this problem by adding more properties in the Priests Lane area, quite apart from the pressure this would create on all other services such as schools, and GP surgeries.
