Representation ID: 22280

Received: 21/01/2022

Respondent: Miss Jodi Stokes

Representation Summary:

8.2 Draft Policy TRAN3 (Managing Transport Impacts of New Development) sets out that “planning permission will not be granted for any proposals that are likely to have significant transport implications, unless accompanied by mitigation schemes that demonstrate an acceptable level of accessibility and safety can be achieved”. We agree that it is appropriate to requirement a Transport
Assessment/Transport Statement and Travel Plan as part of a major planning application to ensure that a new development does not have significant transport implications or can provide an appropriate level of mitigation. This is in line with the requirement of policy 113 of the NPPF.
