We note the slight reduction in overall housing numbers proposed during the plan period, this is likely to have little impact on the transport implications of the local plan growth.

We welcome the policy ISPA 2 reference to improvements to the A12 and A14 however, these are not described or defined in any detail. We welcome policies which which promote walking, cycling and public transport.

Should the policies be reordered to reflect national policy ie put walking, cycling and public transport in front of physical highway improvements.

The proposed expansion of the travellers site at Water Meadow, should be acceptable, however a transport assessment will be required by National Highways and this may identify an impact that may require mitigation. (Note to Inspectors, the site referred to should be West Meadows rather than Water Meadow)
