Representation Summary:

ECC as highway and transportation authority welcomes inclusion of criterion c. it provides clarity on bodies to be engaged with on strategic transport infrastructure matters. However, clarification is sought on the definition of transport evidence. As currently written, it is unclear whether this relates to transport evidence for the Local Plan, that accompanies planning applications, and/or accompanies transport schemes from statutory bodies/stakeholders. Evidence accompanying planning applications and transport schemes provides detail and up-to-date positions which supplement the strategic overview of Local Plan evidence. It is recommended that this is clarified in supporting text to this policy.
