The Council is correct to seek new development in accessible locations. However, the approach to site allocations does not seem to follow this rationale. E.g. DGS is not located adjacent to any existing (sustainable) transport links and instead growth should be focused in locations that seek to ensure existing public transport networks are fully utilised to avoid expensive, unjustified infrastructure improvement works in locations which cannot be considered sustainable in transport terms. We do not consider the Council has approached this in a sequential way which would unlock the potential of sites surrounding underutilised public transport hubs.
