Policy Direction 6 – Safeguarding Land for Transport Proposals
4.38.
The Councils are proposing to carry forward the existing safeguarding measures for schemes which are yet to be completed. NPPF §111(c) does state that planning policies should identify and protect sites and routes which could be critical in developing infrastructure to widen transport choice. However, the NPPF is also clear, that policies should only seek to do this where there is robust evidence to justify it. The Councils acknowledge, in the supporting justification for the policy direction, that such evidence is still emerging, and further work is required in this respect. It will be necessary for the policy and safeguarding of land to be underpinned by appropriate evidence, to ensure that this is justified and sound.
