Development must not increase the challenges to the boroughs infrastructure Whilst transport is considered the focus appears to be on Cross rail and links to Brentwood town centre. Given the scale of the development proposed within the A127 Corridor a complete new strategy needs to be considered for this area. The A12 and A127 is considered highly however the A128 needs to be considered as this road is currently congested at key times and access out of West Horndon is extremely difficult at times
Development must not increase the challenges to the boroughs infrastructure i.e. small enough not to create a significant demand on the current infrastructure or big enough to generate money to create / improve infrastructure to meet the need
Whilst transport is considered the focus appears to be on Cross rail and links to Brentwood town centre. Given the scale of the development proposed within the A127 Corridor a complete new strategy needs to be considered for this area. The C2C rail service is currently at capacity during rush hour and extremely highlighly used outside of that time.; the station car park is full and the platforms would need to be extended.
