Representation Summary:

A narrow point perhaps, but it seems to me that the language used in paragraph 1.1.1 is unfortunate, describing as it does the "harm" caused by new development. I consider that new development should be considered in a more positive light. Yes, its effects on the likes of transport infrastructure will often require mitigation but it is in my opinion too general to describe development as causing harm. What does this mean in any event?
