Challenge D - Securing sustainable economic growth:
Impact of congestion of motorways, the strategic highway network and rail from additional growth/housing.
The impact of additional congestion on the local roads from the proposed new housing sites needs to be assessed. The internal roads within Dickens Heath are already experiencing congestion during peak hours in the morning and do not have the capacity to accommodate additional traffic from the proposed housing sites west of Dickens Heath and south of Shirley. Proposed sites 12 and 11 would also worsen the existing congestion and cause traffic to back up into Dickens Heath.
