Strategic Growth Options

Respondent: Mr Anthony Cross
Whilst I am against development of land other than urban brown-field sites, if further sites are absolutely required (after action is taken to bring unoccupied residential properties back into use), then concentrating development in an area where direct access to excellent existing transport infrastructure would, I believe, be the best option for the borough. This would minimise a wider impact across the borough and help prevent an increase in traffic flows on our rural road network. Accordingly, the two large sites to the south of the A127 (around West Horndon and the Dunton Garden Suburb) appear most appropriate.
