While I cannot disagree that the proposed development will bring many positive economic benefits to the area, I have very grave concerns concerning the traffic modelling, climate and environmental impacts on this area. Based on my reading of the documents the traffic modelling is wholly inadequate, particularly in light of the proposed lower thames crossing, and the combined effect of traffic on the A2. Residents in both the Gravesham, Dartford and Thurrock region suffer due to the congestion and pollution caused volume of traffic on the A2, A13, and M25. At peak time journeys from Medway to Dartford can take one hour, a distance of 17 miles. The A2 at Pepperhill is notorious for congestion so a major interchange here is difficult to comprehend. I look forward to detailed and transparent consultation in this regard using up-to-date information to inform those discussions.
