Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Object to removal crtierion a. Specifically; “rights of way or the local road network in respect of traffic capacity” must be reinstated as walking/ cycling shouldn't be reduced as traffic congestion is a major problem and local new developments shouldn't negatively impact. Changes conflict with CS5. Support change regarding highway safety (criterion B). However IGS is non-compliant as failed to assess impacts of development on air quality. Revised assessment of air quality impacts of IGS urgently required before commencement. Unclear how ‘severe’ and ‘significant’ impacts defined. Maximum legal limits for particulates and nitrous oxides, and this should be ‘significant’.

Change suggested by respondent:

Reinstate criterion a.
