In terms of transport, policies should specifically include provision for new highway infrastructure and its funding (through CIL, S106 or otherwise). Paragraph 7 of the NPPF sets out the different dimensions to sustainable development. The economic role specifically highlights the need to identify and coordinate development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure. Furthermore, paragraph 31 of the NPPF states Local Authorities should work with neighbouring authorities and transport providers to develop strategies for the provision of viable infrastructure necessary to support sustainable development. Without specific provision being made, it is considered by Cogent that the DMDPD fails to positively embrace the aims of paragraphs 7 and 31 of the NPPF and that changes need to be made to ensure that it can be found sound.
