The proposals affect the railway line/freight sites. Therefore the Council needs to consider the following points prior to coming to the ORR with a proposal. 1. The aspiration to construct a road bridge over the railway - it is essential that the Council have a discussion with Network rail regarding their plans, particularly as gauge clearances are concerned. 2. The aspiration to increase the provision of passenger services to support new housing developments - as this would be a change in the operations to the network, the Council should speak to Network Rail, Greater Anglia and the DfT.
