Clarity is required for both applicants and decision makers in relation to the policy requirement criterion 3.b. for ‘quietway’ cycle routes connecting transfer hubs.
As currently drafted the policy provides limited detail and the supporting text provides no guidance on what a ‘quietway’ cycle route is and their locations, or what a transfer hub is and their locations.
BBC should include appropriate wording within the supporting text to address this.

ECC as highway and transportation authority welcomes inclusion of text within criterion 1.b identifying the Brentwood Cycle Action Plan.
In order to futureproof the policy and ensure that development provides the appropriate walking and cycling provision in the future, in line with paragraphs 92.c, 104 c, and 106d of NPPF, the supporting text should provide clarity on the types of other ‘relevant evidence’ which is referenced in the Policy.

We support the Main Modifications to policy R06 (Land off Nags Head Lane, Brentwood). They clarify the policy expectations for the development of the site.
We also note the Appendix 1 Housing Trajectory (MM114) which identifies a delivery timetable between years 2022/3 and 2025/6 which we agree with.
