The Local Plan should prioritise the wellbeing element as in the current financial and political climate marginalised groups (specifically disabled people) are being isolated and are receiving poorer health outcomes due to the lack of accessible housing, heathcare services, respite services and ASC /CSC

C - The objectives are too ambitious and broad ranging. They get diluted and become consequences of action.

The economic and social benefits for disabled people are a direct result of the environment. Concentrate on the intrastructure and provide as much independance and choice as possible. How green or carbon neutral a home / bus is makes little difference if a disabled person can't live in it or ride on it because access is limited of abscent.

No - The period from the start of the prevous Local Plan to the end of the future one is circa 30 years. A lot of socioeconomic factors have and will continue to change, a cut and paste exercise will limit efficacy.

No - it does not ensure immidate change and efficacy to areas that are lacking in the current LP. Sustinability objectives are important but transport infrastructure, housing access and health services must be imporved regardless of the sustainability.

Disabled people still need to be be to travel by car and get in close proximity to their desired destination. People with mltiple complex disabilities, visual impairments, significant mobility impairments and learning difficulties can not negotiate large areas of public realm and have taxis and careres who transport them to a desired desitantion. Active Travel routes are essentially 'cycle highways' and create a addiitonal barrier to disabled people crossing which should also not be underestimated.

Yes absolutely, but only if it is actually achivable and not tokensitic. Honesty and setting expectations is key. The crrent hieracy prioritises pedestrians in name only. In realiry cyclists and vehicles take priorty

There is a huge local and national shortage of accessible housing. Golden rules for affordable housng and green belt construction are great but until such time that all developments have a minumum percentage requirement of M4(2) accessible and adaptable and M4(3) wheelchair user dwellings that are representative of the whole development in dwelling capacity and geographical location this problem will only worsen for what is already known to be an ageing borough population.
