Neither can I see that it discourages the of modes of travel other than cars, given its distance from rail stations and places of work The idea that by building on allotments and green play areas will "incorporate high quality design aspirations for both the development and public realm" is laughable or indeed "Contribute towards the strategic green infrastructure..."or "develop strong, vibrant and healthy communities!"
