Evidence has been supplied to the Council that the proposed access from Priests Lane is narrow with insufficient visibility splays based on Essex Design Guidelines. It will create an unsafe right-left staggered junction with a nearby road. This part of Priests Lane is narrow and winding with a pedestrian path on only one side, risk-mitigation opportunities are not available. It is often subject to heavy congestion during peak times which will be increased by this development in conjunction with other urban site developments.
The proposed direct access from Priests Lane should not be considered as viable as the main access route. The Council should include proper plans to mitigate the risks and negative effects.
