Full text:

NPPF section 4 states that development should take opportunities to reduce the need for major transport infrastructure, and that any plan should take account of providing 'safe and suitable' access to sites. The proposed BA1 development, as currently set out, will require significant new roadworks and it will greatly increase the traffic on North Road (the A507), a road that is already congested, making it difficult for residents to leave their houses.
Further, NPPF chapter 2 is about ensuring the vitality of town centres. This development will move the centre of this historic market town, forever changing its individuality.
