levels of development being discussed at the time could cause significant trafficcongestion problems in the future and as such the study has been updated4.90 All strategic sites in the Bury St Edmunds Transport Strategy were re-testedin 2009 and the outcomes from this have helped inform the Infrastructure DeliveryPlan and will help inform the Area Action Plan for Bury St Edmunds.Strategic Highway Network4.91 The Suffolk Local Transport Plan identifies a hierarchy of roads in theborough which the Borough Council will respect when considering proposals fordevelopment. The A14 trunk road is designated as part of the Trans-EuropeanNetwork and is administered by the Highways Agency. A number of junctions onthe A14 in the Bury St Edmunds area suffer with traffic congestion at peak periodsand careful consideration has been given to the location of development tominimise its impact on the road and make use of existing capacity.4.92 Other roads in the borough which are part of the Primary Route Network arecarrying large volumes of traffic. Where they pass through villages, the localenvironment is being put under significant pressure. Increased levels of trafficbetween Bury St Edmunds and Diss on the A143, between Bury St Edmunds andThetford on the A134 and between Haverhill and Cambridge on the A1307 are ofparticular concern.4.93 Bury St Edmunds has good transport links and is centrally placed in theregion. It is close to the A14 and has the only railway station in the borough,linking it with London to the south, Ipswich to the east and Cambridge andPeterborough to the west.4.94 Haverhill lies on the A1307, less than 20 miles from Cambridge and 16 milesfrom the M11 to London. It is part of the wider M11 corridor and is near StanstedAirport. There are aspirations to reinstate a rail link between Haverhill andCambridge. The A1017 south east of Haverhill provides important links to the eastcoast and there is a need for appropriate measures to improve this route.4.95 The rural areas of the borough are highly dependent on the car and throughtraffic for some communities, such as Great Barton, Clare and Ingham, is a majorenvironmental issue. Although not the highway authority, the Council will continueto explore ways of delivering improvements for these settlements including, wherefeasible, the delivery of bypasses. Whilst an aim of the Local DevelopmentFramework is to improve access to public transport for all sectors of thecommunity, it should also be recognised that given the rural nature of theborough many residents may continue to rely on the private car. The Council willbe seeking to reduce the need to travel by car by securing improvements to publictransport infrastructure, particularly in the rural areas where new development isproposed.4.96 Accessibility is central to the creation of sustainable communities wherehomes, services, facilities and employment are provided within walking distance,or within reach of a good quality public transport network.53
Policy CS7 Sustainable TransportThe Council will develop and promote a high quality and sustainabletransport system across the borough and reduce the need for travelthrough spatial planning and design.All proposals for development will be required to provide for travel by arange of means of transport other than the private car in accordancewith the following hierarchy:WalkingCyclingPublic Transport (including taxis)Commercial vehiclesCarsAll development proposals will be required to be accessible to people ofall abilities including those with mobility impairments.New commercial development, including leisure uses and visitorattractions, which generate significant demands for travel, should belocated in areas well served by a variety of transport modes. Whereappropriate, development proposals that will have significant transportimplications will be required to have a transport assessment and travelplan showing how car based travel to and from the site can beminimised.54
