Representation Summary:

Developer contributions:
- TfWM want to ensure developer contributions fund public transport improvements, inc. stops, shelters, interchanges, information displays & accessible step-free access
- Should be used to subsidise new or amended public transport services to development. e.g. bus diversions/ demand responsive transport.
- Accessibility measures and cycle provision at railway stations
- Contribute to larger scale transport infrastructure improvements, as laid out in the existing and emerging local transport plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

Developer contributions:
- Policy P8 should request developer contributions, covering required/appropriate public transport infrastructure - both within, adjacent and in proximity to development site;
- where a development would otherwise have inadequate public transport access
- Contributions should be sought for larger scale transport infrastructure improvements, as laid out in the existing and emerging local transport plan and delivery plan.
