The SPD claims "A fundamental principle of the new village will be to provide excellent connectivity and access for residents and visitors, by a range of modes, with an emphasis on sustainable, low-carbon / low-emission and active modes
of travel - walking, cycling and public transport". This is a great objective but the design suggests that the emphasis is on facilitating private car journeys, whilst making it possible for those who really want to use the bus or cycle to do so if they are committed enough to travel further than they would if they drove. If you are really serious about walking, cycling and public transport, make these things the easiest and most accessible - ie put the busway and cycle way through the middle of the village (currently the route of the "primary street") and move the "village centre" and the community building to the middle of the village rather than the northeastern corner.
