Representation Summary:

Traffic congestion has always been a key concern for residents. The CS fails to properly assess development and infrastructure requirements including the cumulative effects on traffic, air pollution fresh water and wastewater. As such the plan will not be effective and is unsound. Updated traffic and air quality modelling should be undertaken and development not be permitted unless effective mitigation methods can be implemented. Freshwater and wastewater infrastructure needs to be objectively assessed and key infrastructure listed in the CS. The risks to delivery should be identified.
