Despite reference being made to the infrastructure requirements, to make that development an attractive and sustainable location, it is hard to understand how this will be the case for those more rural locations.
Despite stating in Policy P7 'bus services will be provided for and offering at least a 30 minute daytime, evening and weekend frequency within 400m of the residential development over 100 dwellings', we feel services to these locations will not
be profitable and will result in TfWM subsidising these services in long run. Therefore TfWM does not support significant development taking place at rural locations.

"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. "
