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

Representation ID: 22537

Received: 18/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Lauren Thompson

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

9.173 refers to improved connections to be maximised to create a development where alternative forms of transport to the private car (walking, cycling and public transport) are prioritised. Given the current width of the road, expected to accommodate wider traffic flow from further 1000 house development in Shenfield - since Priests Lane is a through road from Shenfield North to Beentwood / A127 - it is not clear how additional "connections" for pedestrian and cyclists can be provided without a detrimental impact on the increased traffic flow expected, thereby exarcerbating an already stressed proposal from increased traffic flow alone.

Change suggested by respondent:

remove site from LPD; reduce egregious development size cited for Land North of Shenfield to reduce overall traffic impact to all connected areas within Shenfield
