Mrs Janet Smith Gibbons Thetford 13 Policy TH 7 Comment I agree with this proposal, with the proviso that walking and cycling must be encouraged, not just accommodated. Currently cycling in Thetford is extremely difficult. As a cyclist I am unable to use my bicycle to cycle into the centre of town to shop because the town centre is pedestrians. The outer areas of the town have too much heavy traffic to enable safe cycling, particularly for children, meaning many people cycle on the pavements. Safe cycle routes both into and around the town centre are needed. Noted. The walking and cycling network is intended to be the main network onto which cyclists will be directed as well as improvements to help cyclists provided. Change wording to further emphasise the importance of walking and cycling. Include cycle access to the town in town centre masterplan work. Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 13 Policy TH 7 Agree Support noted. No further action. S Lenane Thetford 13 Policy TH 7 Comment Every new road built should incorporate a cycle path. Sustrans Peterborough 13 Policy TH 7 Disagree C A Brooks Thetford 13 Policy TH 8 Comment Chisman Gary Highways Agency Bedford 13 Policy TH 8 Comment Chisman Gary Highways Agency Bedford 13 Policy TH 8 Comment Noted. It is a requirement in TH7 that a comprehensive, logical walking and cycling network be identified and provided within the Urban Extension to fit in with the Thetford Loops and town wide walking and cycling network. The policy does not dictate what kind of provision. The proposed A11 dualling indicates a shared use path to Elvedon. NCC are working on local cycling guidance. No further action. Whilst in broad agreement we are uncomfortable with the exact wording. We prefer A walking and cycling network and its phasing will be identified and the design detailed as part of any planning application for the Urban Extension and agreed with both the Local Planning Authority and the Local Highways Authority. This network must fit into the town wide network (see section 19 ‘Transport' ) as well as the Thetford Loops and must be completed at appropriate stages of the development to ensure that new residents are encouraged to walk and cycle from the outset. The network must link directly and conveniently with destinations such as services and facilities, so that cycling and walking are the most attractive modes for local trips. Subsequent planning applications for detailed development phases will be permitted where they positively plan for and deliver the identified waking and cycling networks. Proposals which detract from the attractiveness and convenience of the networks will not be permitted. Agree. Change text as per representation. To encourage more people to use the buses in Thetford, adequate shelters and information should be provided at all bus stops in Thetford. Noted. The commitments paper recommends that similar measures are retrofitted to the rest of the town to benefit the existing residents. No further action for the TAAP. Potential for partners to take on this issue. Commitments paper issue. Reference is not made within the TAAP to a central public transport hub within the proposed SUE, which had been suggested in the Thetford Transport Plan ‘Public Transport: Opportunities for Buses' report dated 27 th August 2010. TAAP Map 11.1 (p.37) does not indicate the provision of such a facility. A central hub facility, potentially adjacent to shops and/or employment, could create a focal point in the development. If such a facility were located within the SUE it could provide interchange opportunities with longer distance bus/coach services routing between Cambridge and Norwich. If a new railway station is to be provided within the SUE, consideration could be given to providing a combined multi-modal sustainable transport hub. Proposed local bus services serving the SUE could feed such a hub, connecting to other parts of Thetford including the The public transport hub issue was discussed between HA, town centre, main railway station and the TEP. The proposed bus NCC, BDC and the landowners. It is proposed that near to peak hour frequency of 10 minutes is good and should encourage Tesco's, a facility for buses to park over night could be provided. sustainable travel behaviour, especially if it is combined with As for an interchange, it was felt that such a use is better located marketing and attractive and safe bus stop facilities (including real time in information). the town centre and an additional one is not really needed. No further action Consideration could be given to creating attractive linkages between the proposed SUE via Mundford Road and the Fison Way Industrial Estate. Furthermore, consideration could be given to routing proposed SUE local bus routes via the Fison Way Industrial Estate, TEP and railway station via Mundford Road. The precise routing of the bus services is too detailed for the TAAP. Raise comment as part of PPA process.

If you can implement all these schemes, Thetford will be a wonderful place to live though I doubt I will be there to see the finish! Support noted. No further action. Buses - second line - ..and preferably to existing employment areas... surely this could be a proper condition? Noted. Amend policy as per representation. The Committee strongly supports the policy intent. It notes that there was reference by a Pigeon Holdings representative at a recent community meeting to an intended 5-minute service frequency. It is vital for bus routes from/to the Urban Extension to incorporate stops in the existing settlement. Support noted. Such stops likely to be of benefit to the viability of the services. This is included in the transport study Consider emphasising this issue in the relevant text. Raise at PPA. Broadly the provisions of these policies correspond with the measures put forward through the draft Masterplan (Policy TH7 Walking and Cycling, Policy TH8 Buses and Policy TH9 Bus Design Principles) and transport strategy. Fundamental to the Masterplan and transport strategy for the SUE is to optimise connectivity to the remainder of the town and the facilities within it. It is intended that the quality of the provision and frequency of services will enable modal shift away from single occupancy car journeys alongside softer measures and other demand management techniques. Support noted. No further action. Policy TH8 Buses - Paragraph 5 says the developer should fund Comments noted and agreed that paragraph 5 is more appropriate. The trigger points for a switch from developer subsidised service to sustainable profit making service will be addressed through the legal agreement on the SUE application. Contributions to public transport will also be considered in the emerging CIL work to draw down contributions from other measures whereas paragraph 1 says the Council will seek developer developments. The Thetford Transport Study (2010) to which contributions. It is suggested that paragraph 5 is more appropriate. Norfolk County Council were a primary partner, identified that a Policy TH8 Buses- Second paragraph. It is unclear whether the ten minute frequency of internal bus service was necessary to proposed level of service (ten minute frequency) can be sustained by achieve the modal shift required to secure a deliverable and the market after initial subsidies from the developers; affordable transport network. No further action. We would support regular bus services. Monies should be ringfenced to enable this service to continue in the future. The scheme for a guided bus route seems to have been dropped - is this the case? I would support regular bus services. Monies should be ring-fenced to enable this service to continue in the future. The suggested scheme should be spread across the town so that current residents have the same advantages as newly arrived. The scheme for a guided bus route seems to have been dropped - is this the case? Transport study identifies need to support external bus services as well as internal. As part of CIL or S106 the sustainability of bus service will be covered off. Developers indicate parts of route will be bus only or guided, but this is a matter of more detail that the TAAP. PPA Transport study identifies need to support external bus services as well as internal. As part of CIL or S106 the sustainability of bus service will be covered off. Developers indicate parts of route will be bus only or guided, but this is a matter of more detail that the TAAP.

The recommendation by Mott Macdonald (2010) of ‘ a reviewed, both internally and also to surrounding areas. frequency of at least 6 buses an hour from the Urban Extension' is Transport study identifies need to support external bus services unlikely to happen.

PPA Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 13 Policy TH 8 Comment should be in place, perhaps a pipe dream. Noted. No further action. S Lenane Thetford 13 Policy TH 8 Comment Unless the council is going to buy and run it's own bus service, how can it possible guarantee frequency and routes of buses? Any money raised from developers to subsidise buses will only be for the short Transport study identifies need to support external bus services term.
