Representation Summary:

3.Not Effective

ECC welcomes the inclusion of criterion 1.c. within Policy E12, however it should be amended to be consistent with criteria in other Local Plan site allocation policies.

In order to futureproof the policy and ensure that development provides the appropriate walking and cycling provision in the future, in line with NPPF 92.c, 104 c, 106d, the supporting text needs to provide clarity on the types of other ‘relevant evidence’ which is referenced in the Policy. It needs to be made clear that such evidence should include details on future key destinations and attractors for walking and cycling connections.
