The application previously went to the Planning and Development Control  Committee meeting held on the 19^th November 2014, but the item was deferred by Members, due to the lack lack of information and in some cases, conflicting information. The issues that were raised have been summarised below:

-       The size of the work site required within Friars Avenue car park and space that would be retained for use as a public car park

-       Land ownership issues with the proposed work site to the rear of 95 -105 Hutton Road

-       Lorry routes to and from the work sites

-       Positioning of fencing within Friars Avenue car park

Mr  Matthew White, Surface Level Operations Director Crossrail was in attendance and addressed the committee setting out his support of the application.

Amendment to recommendation on page 37 of the report,  to state informatives, not conditions.

Members expressed concerns with regards to width of roads for transportation use around Brentwood Station and the height restriction on bridges within Wash Road, Hutton.  A Member suggested an ongoing review of vehicles will be undertaken.
