Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) Draft Methodology Consultation

Representation ID: 10087

Received: 06/11/2023

Respondent: CAUSE

Representation Summary:

I do not object to the methodology but the consultation forced me to choose support or object. I have additions to make.Ideally, a call for sites should not happen until a strategy is in place, and ideally this SLAA should then apply to see if sites comply with the strategy.

The appraisals set out in the methodology need to go further, as follows, looking at
capacity of the road network adjacent to the site
capacity of public transport serving the site
frequency of public transport (bus or train)?
capacity of schools, doctors' surgeries?
number of bike paths adjacent to site
