Representation Summary:

3. Not Effective

Clarity is required for both applicants and decision makers in relation to the policy requirement criterion 4.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 2.c. 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 NPPF paragraphs 92.c, 104 c and 106 d, the supporting text should provide clarity on the types of other ‘relevant evidence’ which is referenced in the Policy. It should be made clear that such evidence should include details on future key destinations and attractors for walking and cycling connections.

ECC as Lead Local Flood Authority for BBC consider inclusion of supporting text for site specific policies, including references to specific Critical Drainage Areas (CDAs) that affect development, provides clarity to applicants/decisions makers of need for consideration of CDAs at beginning of planning process.

Replace Paragraph 9.159 to ensure factual representation of current flooding position, in line with paragraphs 159 and 160 of NPPF.

This reflects ECC’s Reg.19 Rep 22463, position in Statement of Common Ground (F17D) between BBC and ECC, and position in ECC’s Hearing Statement G7AN – paragraph 1.4.
