Para 104 sets out the guiding principles. An additional guiding principle should be to give priority to releasing land (greenbelt and non-green belt) to facilitate a rapid transit system, preferably a tram system.
Over recent years the Council has released land for housing in locations which then restrict and hamper the development of a rapid transit system, thereby hindering the future development of both houses and jobs, which is the situation we are now in. A more strategic approach to transport planning is needed within the spatial strategy.
