Respondent: Mr. Keith Hodges
The proposed property developments at the Sow & Grow Nursery Site will increase the traffic usage on the A128. There are daily delays due to traffic jams into Brentwood which will only be made worse by increasing the number of residence along this road.
Any increase in housing in and around Brentwood, will in turn directly increase traffic in the area, leading to increased congestion and increased pollution / poor air quality.
Currently the roads are unable to cope with the volume of traffic that uses them and are very congested. Any plans to increase housing volumes need to be PRE-empted by a review and remodelling of local roads.
Of particular concern is increasing the traffic usage on the A128 with the proposed property developments at the Sow & Grow Nursery Site (Site Ref 010). There are daily delays due to traffic jams into Brentwood which will only be made worse by increasing the number of residence along this road.
In addition, other infrastructure concerns, such as health care and car parking need to be addressed BEFORE additional housing is developed.
