TMLC supports the ambition that development will seek to deliver sustainable and inclusive communities by minimising the need to travel and reducing travel distances, whilst ensuring there is effective and sufficient sustainable transport mode choice and improved connectivity for everyone of any ability. Development should be located and designed to reduce the need to travel, particularly by car, and promote sustainable travel appropriate to its location.
Considering the site ‘Trumpington South’, Highways England consider there to be no capacity on the Strategic Road Network for development. On the adjacent development site at ‘Trumpington Park and Ride’, Highways England indicate that development would be acceptable with a ‘trip budget’ approach. The site ‘Trumpington South’ could explore a ‘trip budget’ approach to mitigate the impacts on the local Strategic Road Network.
