Need for clear, tested mitigation for impact on highway network, especially the A127 and A128.
Development on these sites will need to be viewed from a holistic perspective to ensure that they contribute to a pool of funding to provide an enhanced level of bus service to serve the 580 homes planned. It will also be important to ensure that the design layout of the sites facilitates sustainable access, ideally with bus gates or other interventions designed to maximise such access whilst giving these modes a journey time advantage.

Development on this site will need to be contribute to a pool of funding to provide an enhanced level of bus service which will be especially important to ensure that it adequately serves the 200 senior citizen's homes planned. It will also be important to ensure that the design layout of the site facilitates sustainable access, ideally with bus gates or other interventions designed to maximise such access whilst giving these modes a journey time advantage.

Impact on the A127 and B186 requires full traffic assessment. Main access for this site to be J29. The secondary bus access onto B186 Warley Street will require significant highway improvement.
Its location provides primarily car based connections to service centres, and potential sources of employees.
Consideration should also be given to other modes of sustainable transport facilities. It should be noted that the B186 is not conducive to cycling and walking. Significant upgrade of the facilities for pedestrians and cyclists is required.
There is still limited evidence regarding any potential connectivity of the proposed development via sustainable transport measures.
This location is not favourable for sustainable modes of transport to be used to access the site apart from buses which have been briefly mentioned. BBC must ensure that any development in this area has a site wide Travel Plan written and implemented.
There is major employment development planned adjacent to junction 29 of the M25, whilst the outline narrative does indicate that there is potential for bus links to be created, there is no further commitment to what this might look like and how it will be provided.

Impact on the A127 needs to be fully assessed and suitable mitigation identified. Provision of sustainable modes of transport facilities are also required

Impact of development on the A127 needs to be fully assessed with significant improvement to the junction with the A127 / Childerditch Lane.
Within the expansion and improvements, connectivity should be developed for accessing the sites via sustainable transport measures.
The A127 does act as a deterrent for people using sustainable modes of transport.
