LWL3: Walking, Wheeling, Cycling and Public Transport (Outside the Site), Para 4.25 p76; It is suggested the following text should be added after Para 4.25:

• Most applications for development in Rother will need to include a document specifically addressing transport, assesses the transport consequences of the development and details the measures and/or initiatives proposed to provide for the transport demands arising from that development as well as mitigate its transport impacts. As explained within ESCC’s guidance ‘Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Transport Reports Guidance for Development Proposals in East Sussex’ the form of document required will depend on the scale and type of development.

• In line with ESCC guidance, a Travel Plan will also be required for most major developments. The County Council welcomes and encourages pre-application discussions on the merits of a proposal before a formal planning application is submitted.
