Draft Policy TRAN3 – Managing Transport Impacts of New Development
Draft Policy TRAN3 seeks to ensure that both new developments and existing facilities identify travel and transportation impacts and proposals for mitigation. It sets out that any proposals which are likely to have significant transport implications will not be granted planning permission.

This policy is considered to be consistent with National Policy (NPPF, Chapter 9) and is accordingly supported. In terms of the Site itself, access is proposed to be taken from Middlemore Lane West, which connects to Bosty Lane (B4154). The suitability of taking access from Middlemore Lane West will be demonstrated through the provision of appropriate supporting documents submitted with an application. The Site is considered to be sustainably located, near to alternative transport links. Any future planning application at the Site will be supported by the necessary transport work.
