Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4345

Received: 13/02/2015

Respondent: Mr Michael Capon

Representation Summary:

The A127 Corridor and then infilling within the A12 corridor are preferable as they have better transport links and either already have, or have capacity to develop, other services. North of the Borough has been identified as having very poor transport links and would require additional services, adding further to transport, utility and infrastructure problems. Given these issues, any necessary development North of the Borough must link directly to larger roads and not require access through existing, increasingly congested, residential streets. Sites, such as 143 and 185, are therefore inappropriate for development having no such direct access.
