With regards to the delivery of infrastructure across the district over the course of the Plan period, it is considered by CH2M that the Local Plan is required to be nderpinned by a robust transport evidence which is linked to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan [IDP].
The IDP should clearly set out the transport infrastructure required to enable the Plan to emerge sustainably, reducing the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips produced by the quantum of development proposed. Furthermore, the identified infrastructure should also be costed, with the appropriate funding streams identified, as well as timescales identified for when the infrastructure is required to come online.
It is recommended that the Council works with Highways England regarding the emergence of sites in the vicinity of the SRN and/or with significant trip making potential both individually and cumulatively to ensure the SRN is not severely impacted in terms of its capacity, operation and safety.
