Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3270

Received: 20/11/2008

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The proposals recognise the need for infrastructure improvements but these have not been considered , costed, or funded. Many roads are at or near capacity but no plans on how to address the extra traffic.

The Government's regional funding allocation has been cut to £80 million, which will have to be split across East Anglia. This is insufficient.

Once the CS locations have been accepted it will be difficult/impossible to change them. Infrastructure costs must be identified before agreeing sites.
