I am writing to give feedback on the local plan after recently visiting an exhibition.

My view is that you are moving forward with extra housing without a clear idea of how this will impact the rest of the city/wider area. You can't tell us how these developments will affect us, but you want us to tell you what we think - I think you need to do the work and publish clear models showing the impact on traffic and public transport usage and then on the basis of those models ask us what we think. Until that information is available, then I think we should proceed as slowly as central government allows and certainly not seek to accelerate already approved projects.
I agree that the most important factors when considering a new development should be its environmental impact and its impact on local traffic. Building near workplaces and in a way to encourage green travel makes sense, but it will only mitigate the extra travel - you need to tell us how many potential journeys you think these mitigating factors will save and how many journeys you think will still be made. I also agree that encouraging use of public transport is a good thing, but with the scale of the developments proposed the strain on existing public transport infrastructure would be unbearable - again before we can say if we approve of the developments you have to have a plan as to how the public transport system will be transformed to cope with all those extra journeys, and you have to tell us that plan in a clear and easily understood fashion. If the plan is: "build the houses and then see what we need" then the new occupants of the new houses will establish habits around car travel, habits that will be hard to break and the impact on congestion will be severe.
In summary, if you don't provide fuller, better information on the impacts of developments then my response will be "NO" to them all.

Can I also say how extraordinary your webpage on providing feedback is - these two sentences stand out on a page that seems entirely designed to discourage feedback while at the same time saying it welcomes it:
" We would be grateful if you avoided emailing us comments or documents, as we will have to manually enter them into the consultation system and ascribe them to policies or sites."
" If you want to know more about how to comment and how we take comments into account, please join our webinar about the comment process."
Obviously I have ignored the first of these, not out of spite but simply because I could see no other way of providing feedback that wasn't the quick questionnaire.
