Produce a full transport assessment of the Plan as required by National Planning Practice Guidance and arrange public consultation on this assessment, before proceeding further with the Local Plan.

The Chapter titled 'Improving Accessibility and Encouraging Sustainable Travel' was written before the Transport Study produced by Mott Macdonald was prepared and long before it was published. The Policies listed (P7, P8, P8A) are not a transport policy or strategy for the Borough. The requirement of the Planning Practice Guidance for Local Plans is that there should be a transport assessment carried out, at the main stages of Plan preparation. There is still no transport assessment as required by the PPG.
In the absence of a formal transport assessment the Plan is not sound.
