Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Development Plan Document (DPD)

Number of houses and the size of the area used need to be reduced at least 50% . new link roads should connect A133 and A120 after bottlenecks not through new roundabouts.

plan has given no thought about the harm this is going to do to the environment and population already living in surrounding areas.
At present it takes min 25 mins to pass Greenstead roundabout every morning and 45mins in the evening to get cowdary avenue. children take 30mins in the morning and 45 mins to home to school (Elmstead Market - Colchester)
on the assumption 50% vehicle ownership of all new households this will add min 3750 new vehicles to roads in the surrounding area adding massive amount of pressure to road users and pollution.

link roads should connect after current bottlenecks. namely after greenstead roundabout towards colchester town

this will only compound the current problems around road use. map shows new link road connect A133 at point where there is huge amount of traffic already. this will increase traffic queues and rate of accidents
