The Transport Evidence Base has not been re-evaluated following the decision to impose extra housing on the Eldon Way & Foundry Industrial Estates. ECC Highways have confirmed that the B1013 is running at 72% of its maximum theoretical capacity) and the effect of extra housing in Hockley (as well as Hawkwell) has not been re-evaluated and it is unclear what improvements will be required and whether they can be physically achieved.
