Respondent: Bradford Cycling Campaign

Bradford Cycling Campaign supports the idea of a hierarchy of development favouring ‘zero-car’ developments over ‘unsustainable’ developments which barely reduce vehicle. However, in Policy TR3 itself there is no reference to this hierarchy and how it would be used. TR3 B offers a very open-ended requirement: ‘contribute to’ and ‘appropriate levels’ for cycling versus public transport and highways will, in practice, be impossible to evaluate and rank. Instead, developers should be required to demonstrate how they have chosen to prioritise cycling/walking and public transport over car-use. LTN principles should be the default expectation so that it is easier or quicker to move around on foot or by cycle than by car. Looking at specific development sites, however, there is no sign of reference to these policies. Notes on potential sites include headings on Public Transport Accessibility, Sustainability, Habitat, Constraints/Opportunities and other Considerations, but no heading on active travel.
