At b iv (c), we do not agree that this is a demand management measure, while at b vii we recognise the greatly increased opportunities for short car trips will undermine sustainable alternatives.
We believe that there is no reason for a dichotomy between the 'Strategic' and the 'Local'. They have a strong inextricable relationship

With reference to aims of Box 35(b). The subsequent text should acknowledge that this can best be achieved by recognising the merits of supporting development in locations that are in close proximity to existing public transport nodes and corridors. Not only will this encourage sustainable travel patterns by users of the subsequent development, but it will increase the likelihood of securing the long term viability of such public transport.
It should therefore be acknowledged that significant weight will be given to supporting development within walking distance of bus stops and railway stations, with good interconnecting services to other settlements and urban areas.

Cycle paths need to be real ones, not just lines on a map that turn out to be a normal road with no special provision for cyclists other than a white line. Cycle paths also illustrate the propensity for "green" initiatives to generate unexpected negative consequences that are ignored in the name of "greenness". The creation of the NCN has led to the proliferation of badly-placed and often unnecessary cycle path signs. The LDF needs to caution that even apparently "green" initiatives need to be examined for negative externalities.
