Significant growth within the Borough will encounter issues relating to the need for significant investment to be made into the Borough's highways network. In preparing the next stage of the Local Plan, which should Identity specific site allocations, the Council will need to undertake a comprehensive Strategic Transport Assessment In order to properiy understand the existing capacity of the major highway networks,including the A 12, A 127 and M25 junction. This will be required to ensure that new housing and employment opportunities are located within the most sustainable and appropriate areas, as well as to understand where improvements to the highways network are most required.
