Representation ID: 22329

Received: 16/03/2019

Respondent: Essex Bridleways Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Retain and enhance the existing bridleway on site and ensure traffic safety measures on A127 bridge.

Change suggested by respondent:

It is imperative that these bridleways are preserved and the link over the A127 made safer as these two sites are to be developed, thereby increasing the volume of traffic using them. These bridleways serve to link two networks severed by the M25 and A127 and allow access to those living to the south and south west of the site to access Great Warley and Thorndon beyond.

Policy E11: Brentwood Enterprise Park: we note the intention to preserve and enhance the existing public right of way adjacent to this site, and we would ask that as an existing bridleway which is an important north-south link over the A127, that this is retained, enhanced, users' safety ensured and the existing bridge over the A127 is made safer for vulnerable road users. At present, the bridge is used by HGV's as well as horses, and some form of traffic light system for users to ensure their safety would be beneficial here. This also affects Policy E10 Codham Hall Farm to the north of the A127 and again, the enhancement and safety improvements here would be very beneficial.
