Proposals for 1,100 new homes in Little Heath spark traffic fears - Billet Road

The last Redbridge local plan included opportunity site at Billet Road (Site99) for a Secondary school and 800 + new homes. What will the next Draft Local Plan say - due out soon?

The roads here can't cope with current traffic and that is before the development at Marks Gate with additional 291 homes and further 'regeneration' in the pipeline.

Chris Gannaway, a member of the Aldborough Hatch Defence Association’s executive committee prepared a report in response to the plans. He said: “It is going to be horrendous for traffic the area. In my opinion, of all the sites listed in the Local Plan this is the worst. There is no way the current infrastructure can deal with it.

“We’re 2.5km from the nearest station, so people can’t walk, and the bus service is dire because the traffic in the area is so bad.”

Even in lockdown the situation was no different.
