We support all improvements to active travel

St Modwen and Homes England support the objectives and aspirations of this policy and have sought to bring forward the delivery of a pedestrian and cycle friendly development at Locking Parklands in line with the approved Design Code for the site. However, this is becoming increasingly challenging as further phases come forward in light of the position being taken by the Council as Highway Authority in considering planning applications. Firstly, the Highways Design Guide (2020) imposes arbitrary

Fully support all new development prioritising active travel above all else. WIth last consideration being for private car use.

This starts with a statement of the transport hierarchy (An introduction to the sustainable travel hierarchy - Energy Saving Trust) which can be taken to guide all new development.
