By treating the A12 Corridor as a block the document overlooks many issues relevant to the individual communities in the broad area. Access to Shenfield and Hutton from the A12 is effectively only from the Mountnessing round-about. Despite its size the area has succeeded in keeping a semi-rural character, and any redefinition of green belt space around it must take account of that. Brentwood is more urban in character and has much more open connections to the M25 and A12. Pilgrims Hatch is blocked in by the A12, to which it has very limited access.
