The plan is not sound in that it is unsustainable in relation to transport links. WSCC ATS 7.47 recognises that rural bus services are not frequent and do not present an attractive alternative to private car use. ATS 7.46 describes rail transport as typically slow and uncompetitive with travelling by private car. There is no rails service within reasonable distance of the development [Tangmere] so traffic is likely to increase substantially with consequent impact on the environment.
Modification of the plan to reduce or cancel the development to a level consistent with public transport infrastructure capacity to protect the environment of the village [Tangmere].
