The A12 corridor centres on the main urban areas within the Borough, and features better transport connections, including the M25 to the west, the A12 running through from west to east and the main rail hub of Shenfield, as well as social and community infrastructure Including schools, hospitals and retail centres. It is acknowledged and understood that the A12 and M26 junctions suffer from congestion, particularly at peak periods, therefore consideration will need to be given to significant infrastructure investment on the highways network to alleviate these issues. Significant growth would therefore be sustainable within this corridor, particularly as the emerging 2017 Crossrall development, improving transport links into London.
