One of the strongest recurring themes in the campaign is that Ongar's road network is already under pressure. Residents experience that in congestion, access constraints, parking pressure, and the cumulative effect of growth already planned.
The concern is that a further large development south of Chelmsford Road would add vehicle movements to roads and junctions that are not coping comfortably now.
For OCRRAG, this is tied directly to infrastructure planning. Housing numbers cannot be treated in isolation from how people move, where they park, and how existing residents already experience the network.
