The Plan and Sustainability Appraisal use the term Mitigate as a solution to lessen the impact of particular effects. In a number of cases, this term seems to have been used without a solution in mind, and in the TTG’s view, in several cases mitigation would not be possible, or would be economically unviable. In the TTG’s view, the focus should be on good planning including transport planning, which would deliver a comprehensive Local Plan, and therefore not need mitigation.
