Update received from Braintree District Council
Following the meeting of the Local Plan Sub-Committee yesterday (Monday,16 September 2024), a revised timetable for the Local Plan Review has been approved. This comes after the announcement of the government’s proposed planning reforms which is giving local authorities until December 2026 to submit an up-to-date plan compared to the previous deadline of June 2025.
The revised timetable includes a further round of public consultation in the New Year, known as ‘Issues and Options’, which will engage residents on the key issues and challenges facing the district and a set of ideas and solutions to tackle these through planning policies. Statutory consultations will follow in 2025 and 2026, known as ‘Preferred Options’ and ‘Pre-Submission’, prior to submitting a revised plan to the planning inspectorate for examination by June 2026 and adoption in December 2026.

Important roadwork information
A120 Marks Farm Roundabout – road marking renewals
National Highways plan to carry out renewal of road markings on the A120 Marks Farm Roundabout. Once complete, drivers will benefit from a safer, better-defined road surface.
They plan to complete this work over one night on Friday 20 September and will work between 8pm to 6am, weather permitting.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, they need to close the A120 westbound between Marks Farm Roundabout and Galleys Corner Roundabout, and divert traffic as follows:
Eastbound traffic will be diverted off the A12 at junction 25 to travel south on the A12 to junction 19 at Boreham. Drivers will then leave the A12 at junction 19 and head northwards on the A131 to rejoin the eastbound A120 at Panners Interchange.
Westbound traffic will use the diversion in reverse.
A 4-way traffic light system on Marks Farm roundabout will be in operation.
