Point 6 of the policy should be reworded, as it is not for a developer to provide transport services, at best and only where required as a direct result of the proposed development; they can contribute towards transport services provided by others.
The wording 'As appropriate, new development proposals will be required to provide Transport Statements, Transport Assessments and Travel Plans to ensure the delivery of travel choice and sustainable opportunities for travel.' is considered to be too vague. There is no clarification on when it would be 'appropriate' and in what scenario would one or all of the reports mentioned be required.
Further, the supporting text para. 6.187 does not really provide any specific guidance to support this policy requirement. At what stage in the planning process would it be decided that one or all of these documents are required, and based on what criteria? This lack of clarity could lead to delays in the delivery of new homes and uncertainty for developers.
