Policy TR2 is concerned to ensure that the implications of large scale development, in respect of traffic movements and impact, is assessed. This is an approach which is consistent with the NPPF, particularly paragraph 32. In this regard the Background Documents provided for both the site at Lower Heathcote Farm and South of Gallows Hill (provided separately) demonstrate that both of the sites can be accommodated on the highway network without unacceptable adverse impact and that suitable accesses can be achieved. Indeed, a full Transport Assessment (TA) has been submitted for each of these sites in association with the planning applications currently before the Local Planning Authority. The TA demonstrates that, with mitigation as appropriate, the developments (either in isolation or combination) should not be prevented from coming forward and are commensurate with the provisions of NPPF, paragraph 32.
