Representation Summary:

Change suggested by respondent:

Rectify the disconnect between sustainable transport and spatial growth planning, by engaging with the County Council and other statutory transport providers to align priorities.

Representation on behalf of Orbit Homes, J Alston and Sons and Pelham Homes in relation to Silfield Garden Village.

The team led by Orbit Homes are generally supportive of the GNLP (Pre-submission) as currently drafted but consider that some aspects of the Pre-submission GNLP would benefit from amendment and/or further detail to ensure the GNLP meets the soundness test as set out at paragraph 35 of the NPPF. Please see the enclosed representation submission for details.
