Policy P7

The principle of new development being focused in the most accessible locations and contributing towards the enhancement of existing accessibility levels is supported by Richborough Estates Limited. The Potential Housing Allocations at Frog Lane, Balsall Common (Site 2) and West of Dickens Heath (Site 4) accord, or can be made to accord with, the locational and accessibility criteria of Policy P7.

Policy P8

The Potential Housing Allocations at Frog Lane, Balsall Common (Site 2) and West of Dickens Heath (Site 4), in which Richborough Estates Limited have interests, can or would be able to accord with the criteria in Policy P8 for managing travel demand, reducing congestion and providing parking. Highway consultants have been engaged by Richborough Estates Limited for both draft allocations to address access, linkages and impacts of the highway network.
It would be appropriate for Policy P8 to include thresholds for larger developments being required to include travel planning as part of the scheme.
