Representation ID: 21248

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Newlands Developments

Representation Summary:

Draft Policy TRAN5 (Creating Coherent Networks for Cycling and Walking) also encourages new developments to create an environment that encourages sustainable travel via safe and direct links that connect to existing walking and cycling networks, and good walking and cycling links to public transport nodes and interchanges. We are generally supportive of this policy as it accords with the requirements of Paragraph 110 of the NPPF, which advises that in assessing sites that may be allocated for development in plans, it should be ensured that appropriate opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes can be taken up, and that safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved from all users.
