Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 3917

Received: 09/02/2015

Respondent: Mr. L Marchant

Representation Summary:

The A12 may be said to have less opportunity for road alteration and an increase in traffic, but the A127 is already under stress with current figures. There are many limitations to widen the A127 for a worthwhile distance. The A12 area has a better opportunity to increase rail passenger numbers from Shenfield Station.

Flood risk has not been addressed, which could be done even now on the A127 - even before any development for residential homes or traffic assessment.
