Emerging Policy DM17 part c. seeks to incorporate electric charging points and part f. seeks safe and convenient access to public transport within 400m. The provision of electric charging points within a development will not be necessary for development to come forward in a sustainable way. DM17f. is not necessary for all development sites, e.g. it does not take into account sites that are within reasonable walking distance of local services which would not necessarily need to be served by public transport. The policy should therefore be reworded to reflect individual site circumstances to ensure it is 'justified' and 'effective'.
