We support an approach that aligns with NPPF Paragraph 118, so that the likely impacts of developments on road travel can be adequately assessed. This will ensure significant development is focussed on the most sustainable locations, where the need to travel has been minimised, and a genuine choice of transport modes have been considered. Indeed, the accompanying Travel Plan and Transport Statement should effectively demonstrate this, to ensure development occurs in the most sustainable and accessible locations. This will support development that promotes active travel, adapts to climate change and addresses health inequalities.

This policy direction recognises the reality that people will be reliant on motor vehicles for many of their journeys in the future. Whilst the gradual shift to electric vehicles may mitigate the resulting increased pollution to a certain extent, this will take many years to be fully effective and thus lead to negative environmental and health impacts in the meantime. Not only will pollution undermine the sustainability of Meon Vale and Long Marston Airfield, but the traffic congestion on the adjacent B4632 will also have major negative impacts affecting both residential amenity and the welfare of tourists.

The policy direction is generally welcomed. When wording the detailed related policies, a level of flexibility should be afforded with a positively worded approach to support active and low-carbon transport journeys.
For sites such as land at Cophams Hill, its proximity to existing transport infrastructure, including major road networks and potential freight corridors, offers a strategic advantage. Policies should be supportive of sites that can accommodate sustainable transport options. This approach not only adheres to the NPPF but also fosters a cohesive integration of transport and land use planning, promoting sustainable growth and community well-being.

The Draft Policy direction is supported in principle. The associated Justification wording cross-references the NPPF that opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary between urban and rural areas is supported. Specific reference to this should be included within the Policy wording.

Further emphasis should be made within the policy to maximise the benefit of strategic infrastructure investment to help support any opportunities for ‘last mile’ freight journeys. The University recommends that greater emphasis be placed within the policy to encourage integration of new development with placemaking and delivery of new and improved local transport networks to prioritise sustainable modes of travel. Reference to 20-minute neighbourhood principles should also be considered here. All new developments should be required to produce a Delivery and Servicing Plan to support applications. The use of delivery and servicing consolidation hubs should form part of this policy

Overall, the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL) Board agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 33. This approach aligns with the approach that is advocated in Policy CC1 (Climate Change - Mitigation) of the CNL Management Plan65 and in the Board’s Climate Change Strategy66.
However, we recommend that Draft Policy Direction 33 and / or the supporting text should also explicitly address the thresholds for increases in traffic movements that are considered to be significant. These thresholds are set out in the guidance on ‘Environmental Assessment of Traffic and Movement’, published by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).67
For most roads, the threshold is a 30% increase in traffic movements and for ‘sensitive areas’ it is 10%. The Board’s Tranquillity Position Statement refers to these thresholds and states that the 10% threshold should be applied in relation to increases in traffic movements on roads through - and along the boundary of - the CNL.68 As outlined in the Tranquillity Position Statement, the Board considers that increases above this 10% threshold are likely to have a significant adverse effect on the tranquillity of the CNL, which is one of the area’s ‘special qualities’.69
We recommend that Draft Policy Direction 33 should explicitly state that proposals that would increase traffic movements on roads through - and along the boundary of - the CNL by 10% or more will not be supported.
