Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3266

Received: 20/11/2008

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association

Representation Summary:

Housing to be scattered, mainly to West and North of District whilst industry will be concentrated in South East.

The impact of thousand of extra car movements each day is unsustainable. Roads like the B1013 are already at near full capacity and the railway bridges across the district are pinch point which will difficult and expensive to circumvent. This approach contravenes government policy PPG4.

PP4 says: "encourage new development in locations that can be served by more energy efficient modes of transport". The CS does the opposite with housing mainly in West and North. Bus services are non-existant.
