Policy T5 of the Unitary Development Plan states: “The Council will seek to improve the environmental quality, capacity and safety of local roads where appropriate, either by minor improvement or suitable traffic management schemes” and the Environment Portfolio Plan 2013-16 includes the key aims: ‘Improve the road network and journey times for all users’; and ‘Promote safe and secure travel.’ This junction was identified as a pinch point in 2008, and subsequently included in the TfL funded work programme for 2013/14 as a congestion relief scheme to assist traffic flow, in particular vehicles travelling south along Heathfield Road. In view of the potential impact of the scheme across a wide area Members should consider the outcome of consultation before the scheme proceeds.
