Representation Summary:

Mod 8.1 Policy BX1 (v) (b)
The decision to delete the provision for a station at Glyne Gap adjacent to Ravenside is unsound and unjustified. Sustainable transport links must be included in any long term plan, particularly to lock in the benefits of the link road.
Ravenside is shortly to see the opening of a new Marks & Spencers attracting more visitors. Not all have cars. The study which came to this conclusion was not made public and ignored the fact that new signalling is being installed before the end of the year allowing more trains per hour.
