- Require massive budget from public funds (£10bn+) at time we can ill afford and this does not represent value for money - taking money away from sustainable travel. - Will impact woodland (inc ancient woodland), trees (inc ancient/veteran), hedgerows, greenbelt. This will greatly and negatively impact wildlife and their habitat. - it will significantly increase air and noise pollution. I understand the proposed route fails on WHO-10 levels for PM2.5 - There are no provisions for active travel - The proposals will not solve the problems suffered due to the Dartford Crossing - That this (and any new road) will create Induced demand – increase in cross river traffic - it fails to provide adequate connections, especially when incidents occur - Both construction and when in use there will be increased carbon emissions
