We support the SWLP approach to prioritising access to public transport, walking and cycling routes.
Policy Direction 31 should also reference park and ride options as contributing to sustainable transport accessibility.
The provisions of Policy Direction 31 illustrate the objections we have made in respect of applying a sequential approach to Green Belt release and delivering brownfield land before considering green field release – our underlying objection is that broader sustainability considerations must outweigh any notion of sequential site release. An inherently sustainable approach is to minimise reliance on the private car, rather than determining development strategy by reference to a policy designation (Green Belt) which itself is for review as part of the SWLP.
Applying the provisions of Policy Direction 31 it is clear that focussing development on the main towns, and locations at the main towns which have good connections including in relation to park and ride facilities, is a sound and justifiable approach.
