The transport infrastructure currently in place is already under strain and cannot cope, the local plan as a whole has very vague information and it is clear that housebuilding will happen at a pace and before the transport issues have been developed / resolved. The reasoning behind 4.23 is wholly flawed, whereby "Growth for Residential zones has been applied incrementally, thus preserving locally observed
trip rates and applying these to new housing development". This fails to address the problem that the new housing is going to attract far more Residential vehicles than the existing housing which is established and close to existing infrastucture. New housing can not be assessed by preserving existing locally observed trip rates. This is just one example of an ill conceived idea which will massively distort the local transport systems.
