Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission

We are pleased to note that comment from our response to previous consultation has been included in the revised draft of the plan, specifically paragraph 2.16 (which now includes reference to rail freight traffic) and also housing allocation K1 (which now includes consideration of impact on railway operations).

Policy SA03 – relating to allocations MH1, MH2 and MH3. As outlined in our previous response we still feel that the wording of section 3h of this policy should include consideration of the impact of the proposals upon the railway station itself (in terms of passenger numbers and type) in order that any such impacts may be identified and appropriately mitigated.

Policy DM06 – Transport and Accessibility. As we noted in our previous response, there is no specific reference to rail travel within this policy. In particular, we consider that section 2 relating to Transport Assessment should be modified to specifically include rail given the potential for the impact upon Market Harborough railway station from nearby allocations in the Local Plan.

In the whole we find the draft local plan acceptable and are grateful that some of our previous comments have been included. However, we feel that wording in policies SA03 and DM06 should be amended to better integrate consideration of rail into the plan.
