The Government is currently giving further consideration to Options A and C for the future Lower Thames Crossing. This includes assessing a wider corridor for the route of Option C. Any assessment of development proposals at Dunton Garden Suburb or West Horndon will need to take account of the emergence of options for the Lower Thames Crossing and any possible northern route for Option C that extends along a M25/A127/A128 corridor.
A northern path for the route of option C could improve accessibility to the national network for development if links are provided to the A127 and A128. Howeverdepending on the location of the preferred route it may have implications for development proposals in terms of land take south of the A127 and west of the A128 and could result in higher levels of noise and pollution.
