Broadly support the aims and content of the transport policies but need strengthening, particularly in relation to cycling as per Solihull Connected. The Local Plan needs to recognise that walking and cycling are separate modes that require separate consideration by developers.
New developments should be designed to make footway parking unnecessary.
The Local Plan should contain a policy that all new developments with roads adopted as public highways should include Traffic Regulation Orders to prevent pavement and verge parking. Where a development may lead to similar problems in adjacent areas this requirement might be extended to cover those areas.
