My main comment relates to the proposed employment site the Brentwood Enterprise Park. If my interpretation of the local development plan and the plan outlining the Lower Thames Crossing proposed route are both correct the formation of the Enterprise Park would be impossible given the proposed route of the new Lower Thames Crossing takes the site. I note that Brentwood failed to respond to the recent Lower Thames Crossing consultation. I am already concerned about the lack of employment opportunities in the plan and this would affect this even further.

Secondly I express my concern on the amount of development that takes place alongside the A1023. This is already a congested route more so when there is an incident on the A12. I cannot see how all of this development can take place with the A1023 as the main access and egress. I would urge you to reconsider this level of development taking place alongside this route. The developments which would be reliant on this road:

Eagle & Child 20 units
Crescent Drive - 55 units
Land east of Chelmsford Road, Shenfield - 215 units
Officer's Meadow, land off Alexander Lane, Shenfield - 510 units
Land North of A1023 Chelmsford Road, Shenfield - 100 units
