Whilst no objections are raised in respect of the majority of the provisions of this policy, we are concerned that a requirement that all new development should have access to public transport within 400m is neither justified (in terms of its being a fixed requirement) nor likely to mean that the Plan is effective overall in delivering the number of new homes required, because there are some locations where a strict adherence to 400m is unlikely to be achievable.
