Transport policy, (CS5, CS17 and CS20) There doesn't seem to be any realistic attempt to deal with the additional traffic that will result from the Northern fringe development. There are some changes which will increase the area of road for traffic to queue on, but they do not fundamentally address the problem of traffic movement. The roads to and from the development are already extremely busy and there does not seem a suitable way of expanding the capacity of the existing roads (Valley Road, Henley Road etc.) to accommodate this traffic. I believe that increased congestion is likely, which in turn is liable to cause more pollution both in terms of air quality and noise
