Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 22302

Received: 16/03/2019

Respondent: Miss. L.E. Mittins

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Further housing in this area is not sustainable as Priests Lane is a very narrow road. Along with Friars Avenue, it is already used as a rat run between Brentwood and Shenfield and is extremely dangerous with its current traffic - this development would worse the situation. These roads cannot take any more traffic - indeed steps should be taken to reduce traffic. Any development here would remove another small lung of green space, which is gradually being totally eroded in Shenfield.

Change suggested by respondent:

Needs to remove this proposal completely to take account of increased traffic flow (which is unacceptable), safety of residents, lack of health provisions (doctors' surgeries are already overloaded) and detrimental effect on residents' health due to increased pollution, lack of transport facilities.
