8.12 the shift away from ‘predict and provide is welcome’, but monitor and manage is less bad, not good.as it still focuses on highway improvements with “(including enhanced walking, cycling and public transport)” an afterthought.
Stating “The reason for this approach is that the full cost of the A27 junction improvements cannot be funded through contributions from new development alone” is indicative of the financial and economic fallacy of increasing road capacity, when the developer funding would be enough to fund active travel infrastructure that will provide far more sustainable access for the things people need locally helping to increase economic activity and help ease the Climate Emergency as well as providing better access to bus stops and railway stations where the things people need to access are not available locally.
