I would disagree that the villages in the north can support some development due to the poor provision of transport infrastructure in terms of bus links and the state of the roads. Congestion would also become a major issue. The roads are already clogged with double parked vehicles. I do, however,agree that the villages need help economically, local services need improving and the village businesses need help. Villages also suffer from a lack of affordable housing for the elderly and first time buyers.
I also disagree that the A127 corridor is suitable as this is already congested, the landscape character would also suffer. Major development occured in recent years at chafford Hundred which has taken its toll on existing transport infrastructure.
I agree with the comments on the A12 corridor, with the advent of crossrail and the existing infrastructure it would make sense to develop in this area
