Various policies refer to sustainable communities and lifestyles (DS3, DS5, BE1, TR1, TR2, HS1, HS6 etc). The intentions of these policies are good but the plan fails to follow these through and fails to set effective priorities and policies to achieve these aims. Instead it recommends low density urban sprawl which will be dependent on motor vehicles and will not deliver sustainable lifestyles. It therefore represents and unsound strategy. Whilst the plan seeks to encourage walking and cycling, this will not be achieved as wider, busier roads will intimidate and discourage pedestrians and cyclists. The low density suburbs do not provide a sound basis for supporting an effective bus service.
