Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The requirement at Policy P7 part 2(ii) is ambiguous and not enforceable for development management purposes. No definition is provided of what constitutes as a “high frequency” service. No justification is given for the requirement for sites to be within 400m and / or 800m
of a bus service or rail station and it does not allow for mitigation by providing transport-related contributions.
The requirement at Policy P7 part 2(iv) is ambiguous and is not considered enforceable
for development management purposes.
Part 2(ii) of P7 should either be revoked or re-drafted to provide clarity on “high frequency”, and the choice of 400m and 800m should be justified.
Part 2(iv) of P7 should be revoked or re-drafted to provide clarity on the amount, scope, level or type of on-site transport infrastructure that would be considered acceptable, and how an ‘enhancement’ in accessibility levels would be measured.
