Representation Summary:

10.7 Policy TRAN3 refers to managing transport impacts on new development. The policy states, amongst other things, that mitigation schemes must demonstrate an acceptable level of accessibility and safety can be achieved "...using all modes of transport to, from and through the development". Taylor Wimpey considers this policy needs further revision to take account of circumstances when, for instance, bus penetration through a site may not be possible due to constraints such as site size, physical barriers or other design considerations (delivering high density housing developments based on Manual for Streets principles where bus penetration would be inappropriate).
