Legally compliant? No

Representation Summary:

The developments R25 and R26 will cause significant traffic increase on small rural roads in the vicinity of these sites, notably Red Rose Lane, which is already classified as being unsuitable for large/heavy vehicles. This road is used frequently by pedestrians and dog-walkers, it's narrow and has no pavement. Adding 70 houses to this road will make for a huge increase in traffic which is completely incompatible with the road in it's present state. To widen it to make it safe, will cost a substantial amount and be to the detriment of the historic nature of the lane and village.

Representation Summary:

2. Not Justified
3. Not Effective

There are some junctions where traffic flows appear to have been underestimated in the Transport Assessment and therefore the impacts of Local Plan growth may also be understated. This includes the junctions along Brook Street between the M25 and Brentwood Town Centre. More robust analysis will therefore be required through the planning application process for relevant sites, which in turn could necessitate additional infrastructure improvements.

Paragraph 5.128 needs to be amended to provide this flexibility.

This reaffirms ECC's position as set out in its Hearing Statement F76A.

ECC as highway and transportation authority notes that a comprehensive and deliverable package of sustainable transportation interventions is required to reduce Local Plan impacts and a number of options are set out in the Transport Assessment (2021). Further consideration of the most effective measures can be achieved as part of a sustainable transport strategy, developed in consultation with ECC as Highway Authority for BBC and other relevant statutory consultees and stakeholders.

Paragraph 5.131 needs to be amended to reflect this position.

This reaffirms ECC position as set out its Hearing Statement F76A.
