Representation Summary:

Those responsible for Parc Trostre and Parc Pemberton must cease with their car-centric developments. New developments should only be included on these sites if they improve the woeful public transport and active travel infrastructure on these sites. If not, they will be contrary to the Well-being for Future Generations Act (2015) which the Council is bound to follow.

Change suggested by respondent:

They must include provision for active travel and improve public transport by adding better, more frequent buses, among other things.

Our response:

The comments are noted. Policies TRA1 Transport and Highways Infrastructural Improvements and TRA2 Active Travel support development proposals which provide sustainable modes of travel. In addition, Policy SP2 Retail and Town Centres would require evidence of the site’s accessibility to sustainable modes of transport should further development for convenience stores, non-food retail warehouse units or leisure facilities be proposed.
