Representation Summary:

The revised wording dilutes the requirement for a Transport Assessment to 'strategic planning applications'. With the emphasis on smaller boutique businesses, there is no longer any guarantee any such strategic planning applications will be made. There are therefore no effective proposals or evidence to deal with highways issues (Chapter 3, Policy 3) and the council has consistently misled residents and undertaken a U-turn on repeated commitments to undertake a Transport Assessment as part of the HAAP. smaller DEVELOPMENTS MAY ALSO MITIGATE AGAINST MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS. a CLEAR COMITMENT TO A FULL TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED
