Options for transport have been identified in consultation with the highway authority and public transport operators, to ensure that the schemes chosen are both feasible and deliverable. 1.2.2 This report will provide a sound evidence base in which to take the masterplan through the AAP process.

Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose.

    Page 1 of 11 ​ Barrow upon Soar Housing Background Paper 1 Introduction The Barrow upon Soar Neighbourhood Plan must be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the Charnwood Local Plan 2006 to 2028 (Core Strategy). In particular, the Neighbourhood Plan should not promote less development than set out in the Core Strategy or undermine its strategic policies.
