Respondent: Caldecott Parish Council

The proposed local plan does not recognise the impact of growth upon infrastructure outside of the immediate area. This applies particularly to the impact of development on arterial roads such as the A6003 which travels through Caldecott and which cannot cope with the inappropriate nature and quantity of traffic from recent growth and further significant issues (safety/quality of life) which will be caused by the development levels proposed within this plan and those of neighbouring authorities.

This point should be explicitly referenced in relation to policy INF1 in the local plan and addressed in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. The Infrastructure Delivery Plan should prioritise the specific projects related to the issue of arterial roads though historic village settings and identify the funding mechanisms to support improvements and/or bypass routes during the life time of this Local Plan.
