Small development in possible but large areas (surrounding Ingrave / Herongate) would create transport mayhem and road development is not an option. It would be a danger to local residents (considering the number of accidents already taking place).
Whilst some of the smaller areas indicated may be able to take a low level of development without negatively impacting the surrounding areas too much, this is clearly not the case for the larger areas shown (surrounding Ingrave and Herongate).
The villages of Herongate & Ingrave have questionable transport links at present with the only real transport option being road. This is disrupted on a frequent basis due to the A128 being blocked by frequent accidents and issues on the A127, A12 and M25 also increase the traffic flow on a regular basis. Large development in this area would create further misery to residents who would be battling to get to work and to get their children to secondary education on a daily basis.
