Representation Summary:

Policy SER1 - North of London Road - Rayleigh

3.31 Transport Impact of aditional 550 properties on to the A129 London Road must be given major consideration. As is well known by RDC. This road between Carpenters Arms and Rayleigh High Street already carries a heavy volume of traffic with congestion at the junctions with Downhall Road, Crown Hill and the High Street. The effect of the 150 properties at present under construction or in the planning stage with access onto the A129 should also be considered.

There are also 3 estates with access on to the London Road, Louis Drive Estate, Little Wheatley Estate and Grange Estate, plus other minor roads.

A road widening scheme may need to be considered and provision of a suitable footpath to serve the community, facilities being suggested.
