Representation Summary:

Policy BE14 – Sustainable Passenger Transport
3. Not Effective

ECC as highway and transportation authority recommends that this is included in Local Plan Monitoring Framework in order to ensure that full sustainable modes of travel can be monitored. Considered particularly important given strong reliance on sustainable travel as transport mitigation measure in Local Plan, Transport Assessment, and IDP.

For example, it is unclear how success of criterion B of Policy BE14 could be measured and achieved without regular monitoring of capacity and frequency of bus services.

Reaffirms ECC’s position set out in Examination Statement F125A - paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3.
