Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 3069
Received: 16/02/2017
Respondent: Transport for the West Midlands
TfWM favour development that is located along high frequency public transport corridors and hubs, existing town centres and the UK Central hub area/HS2 (growth options A - E) rather than existing or new rural villages/settlements or new locations (growth options F-G) as sustainable transport is often limited.
Need to emphasise future rapid transit routes in relation to locating new development (see Sections 2.12-2.14 of Movement for Growth strategy).
Above policies should be explicit in Local Plan and aligned to vision.

"Overall we are very supportive of the plan and its in alignment with our Movement for Growth and SEP. But we have raised some points concerning parking policy, and more promotion of walking and cycling. "
