Housing to be scattered mainly to West and North of District whilst industry will be concentrated in South East at airport
The impact of thousand of extra car movements each day is unsustainable. Roads 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 virtually non-existant.

Highways

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association
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.

The CS advocates use of environmentally friendly transport Many of the areas selected have no public footpaths. The cost of providing these is likely to be prohibitive.

Representation ID: 3273
Received: 20/11/2008
Respondent: Hockley Residents Association
The only two cross-district bus services (nos 7 & 8) are being cut by about 50% in Feb 2009 to just one an hour each.
Small, scattered housing developments do not generate sufficient additional traffic to cost justify additional services.
No information is provided on how new services will be provided.
