If the proposed site is in a location which is outside of the settlement boundary but is already well connected to local amenities (by walking, cycling or public transport) there should be no requirement for improving or creating opportunities to access the site via these means.

The following requirement is not sound. "The sustainability of the site is enhanced by improving or creating opportunities to access the site by walking, cycling and public transport". This requirement will not be appropriate in all cases, for example, this should not be a requirement for sites outside the settlement boundary which are already well connected by walking, cycling and public transport options.
