Policy WAT1
Policy amended from Reg 14. This change (Consultation Statement change ref WT1-1, pg.66) has been made in response to a representation which indicated that greater priority should be given to non-motorised users and public transport rather than non-vehicular users.

The amended text at (c) now lacks clarity, as a link cannot be created without crossing vehicular thoroughfares. This should be made clear.
The text introduced at (d) is not consistent with the now approved Site Access Strategy for the Barracks and Airfield Redevelopment (approved as a condition 10 discharge on Outline Planning Permission (S/0559/17/OL)) and now being implemented.

This Site Access Strategy provides for managed access but does not entirely preclude some access for private vehicles, which is necessary for some existing residential properties within the Barracks area (notably those on Orchard Drive and the Papworth blocks) and for emergency vehicles. The wording at (d) is not consistent with this and should be adjusted to reflect that there is some flexibility in the scheme being implemented.
