Representation ID: 6170

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: the Client

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Policy P7: object to restrictive wording. Prevents a flexible interpretation of sustainable development.
Sustainability is not a formula and suitability of a site for housing development should not be solely measured by distance from high frequency bus stops.
If distance to public transport is included, then should also include proximity to train station, safe cycle and walking routes.
Reword to state: '...unless justified by local circumstances...and investment in improvements to local transport provision, cycling and/or walking measures will be sought in association with development proposals...' to improve accessibility where appropriate.
