The allocation of greenfield sites otuh of Warwick make it impossible to meet to meet transport needs sustainably as required by the NPPF.

The relatively low densities proposed mean more space devoted to roadways and parking. the location will will create journeys as few destinations will be within walking distance. The road network is unattractive for cycling and buses cannot provide the quality of service to compete with the car.

Sustainable transport poliucy is paid lip service (paras 5.28 to 5.59) as evidenced by expenditure splits in the IDP.

The effects of the proposed mitigation on on traffic flows is questionable and raises doubts about the quality of the modelling. They do however show increased jourvey times, worse congestion and worse air quality. There are inconsistencies between the IDP and the STA. The STA also appears to indicate that any Plan which depends on increasing the flow of vehicles through Warwick Town Centre is undeliverable.

The Plan takes no account of previously well-founded objections.
