Respondent: Warwick District Labour Party
The role of the District in generating inward and outward flows of commuter traffic (principally to/from Coventry and Birmingham) should be highlighted. To minimise carbon emissions from current and future traffic flows the DPD should explicitly favour new development with minimum dwelling densities (NPPF paras 124/5) especially along public transport routes; and co-located as far as practical with planned employment locations (both within and outside the District), to encourage shorter journeys and greater use of active transport
