4. Points of concern 1- Currently, construction of the Bypass (and J11a) is programmed to start in 2013/14 and to open to traffic in 2015/16. However, the councils and the local MP are urging the HA, DfT and DCLG to try and bring forward the dates. 2- Concern about the lack of appropriate pedestrian/cycle route across the M1 at J12

8. TAF Current work
Each of ten strategy development option being appraised to assess, in relative terms, their transport based sustainability in terms of ensuring that:
Both existing and new residents have the highest achievable degree of accessibility to employment places
Both existing and new employers can draw upon the widest number of employed residents
Overall, residents in any given area have the maximum level of accessibility to residents in other areas.

9. Sustainable developments
Consider the location of Growth points in terms of their connectivity to large urban areas, major zones of employment, retail/leisure facilities and the existing road and rail network
Endeavour to provide a variety of employment opportunities and other community facilities (such as schools, health centres etc) on site to reduce the need to travel
Ensure that Growth Points are planned to best integrate with existing land-use.
