This site map ref 79A has boundaries on three sides with busy roads the A12, B1002 Roman Road and the B1002 slip road onto the A12. The B1002 to Mountnessing and the B1002 slip roads are the relief roads for the A12 when traffic is diverted off this major road. The slip road is very busy during the morning particularly between 7.00 a.m. 8.30 a.m. with traffic in both directions. Overspill of cars from the Harebridge development park in this road as the site does not have adequate parking. If this proposed site79A, is developed and parking overspills into the slip road this will impede traffic in both directions. The extra vehicles from the development from Ingatestone Nursery, if permission is granted, will add to the volume of traffic using this road. Any pedestrian from this proposed site 79A will have to cross either the slip road or the B1002 to Mountnessing to get into Ingatestone there are no pedestrian crossings on either road. Road noise from the three surrounding roads, one of which is elevated and looks down onto this site, must be taken into consideration and gardens on this site will be subject to noise day and night. Traffic noise from the A12 is heard in the gardens of the properties opposite this site. The air quality on this site particularly when the wind is blowing from the A12 needs to be considered. The two green islands separating the slip road from the old route of A12 must be protected as open space. Ingatestone has been subject to development at Bell Mead and The Crown and with proposed developments at the Garden Nursery and the proposed developments in Mountnessing parking is already at a premium now in Ingatestone where are the additional vehicles supposed to park when coming into the village to shop or work?
