Respondent: Essex County Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Representation Summary:

2. Not Justified
3. Not Effective

There are some junctions where traffic flows appear to have been underestimated in the Transport Assessment and therefore the impacts of Local Plan growth may also be understated. This includes the junctions along Brook Street between the M25 and Brentwood Town Centre. More robust analysis will therefore be required through the planning application process for relevant sites, which in turn could necessitate additional infrastructure improvements.

Paragraph 5.128 needs to be amended to provide this flexibility.

This reaffirms ECC's position as set out in its Hearing Statement F76A.
