Representation ID: 20878

Respondent: Town and Country Planning Association
Under Paragraph 117, the TCPA would encourage including ‘employment’ under access to services. It is noted that employment is often allocated separately from residential allocations, however the co-location of different uses increases pedestrian movements and therefore contributes to healthier lifestyles. We would encourage the wording: "…new communities will be designed to make active travel and public transport the easiest travel choice and therefore reduce the need to travel by private vehicle."
Under the Communities objective, we would recommend using the wording: "…with good access to jobs, services and facilities, helping to reduce health inequalities in disadvantaged parts of the community."
