Industrial Site Traffic to Use B1256 Takeley Street

All site traffic will rely on the B1256 Takeley Street, placing immense strain on an already overburdened road. Every day, hundreds of additional HGVs, vans, and cars connected to the development will flood the area, with forecasts predicting the B1256 will come to a complete standstill.

Important Information to Remember

The developer is planning a public consultation in mid-January 2025. While they will present this as an opportunity for the public to express concerns, the reality is different. The primary purpose of the consultation is not to address public worries but to identify potential objections and devise ways to counter them before submitting the full planning application.

Get Ready to Submit Your Objections

Attending the public consultation is worthwhile, but keep in mind that the developer will present only the information they want you to hear. Prepare your objections in advance, but hold off on submitting them until the formal planning application is made.

We’ll Keep You Updated

When the time comes, we’ll notify you so you can submit your objections through the planning portal.
