Agenda item

Daytime Population

A member expressed concern at the level at which the daytime population was increasing and the transport network was at saturation point. The Policy and Performance Director  advised that the Local Plan included projections for the working population to increase and the scale of growth being experienced recently was consistent with future plans and was supported by appropriate existing or planned infrastructure.  The current review of this Local Plan would also provide an opportunity to review these issues to ensure that growth in the City was sustainable and was complemented by appropriate infrastructure and change at street level.
