- Priests Lane is already severely congested - the new Local Development Plan does not take this into account nor offer mitigants for the issue worsening as a result of new homes being built
- Priests Lane is the only Greenfield site - why not opt for brownfield sites?
- Development will put extra strainon local services which are already running at maximum capacity
- Too few entrances to the site mean that works vehicles will ruin the roads even further.
- Pollution will significantly worsen if the proposed works go ahead. No mitigants have been put in place to address this
1. Priests Lane is already severely congested / a bottleneck for traffic travelling between Shenfield and Brentwood - at the junction of Priests Lane / Middleton Hall Lane - the new Local Development Plan (LDP) does not take this into account nor offer mitigants for the issue worsening as a result of new homes being built
2. Priests Lane is the only Greenfield site - why not opt for brownfield sites? Surely it makes more sense?
3. Development means an additional 1,000 houses in Shenfield alone - how much extra strain will this put on local services such as hospitals, GP surgeries, schools - all are already running at maximum capacity
4. Too few entrances to the site mean that works vehicles (lorries etc) will ruin the roads even further. As it is, the roads are in a total state of disrepair with potholes
5. Pollution will significantly worsen if the proposed works go ahead. Again, no mitigants have been put in place to address this
