Brentwood town centre is already at crisis point with traffic volumes and parking facilities unable to cope and any further building in or near the centre will only make this worse.
(Priest Land, Brentwood; and Brentwood Town Centre generally): These sites should be excluded from the Local Development Plan (LDP) for the following reasons: Priests Lane and the surrounding roads are already congested and adding 90+ houses will increase traffic movements in peak hours by probably double the number of houses built. Access to the site from Priests Lane or St Andrews Place will create danger to cars and pedestrians. Priests Lane has a narrow pavement and additional hoses with children walking to school in Brentwood Town Centre may cause danger to the children. Pollution levels will increase in the area where levels already exceed EU limits. The road infrastructure, doctors. dentists and schools in the area cannot cope now and no provision has been made to improve these, Brentwood town centre is already at crisis point with traffic volumes and parking facilities unable to cope and any further building in or near the centre will only make this worse.
