The road access is not safe for this size of development due to the poor visibility on priests lane. All traffic from the site must use Priests Lane which does not have any way to mitigate the traffic risks. Evidence produced by the residents association shows that the access to the site has poor visibility splays that do not meet recommended metrics as set out in the Essex design guide. In addition the close proximity to a nearby junction would create further risk. This fails to meet the planning criteria set out by the Council.
The access direct onto Priests Lane is unsuitable as the main access for the site
