The Transport model document quotes average departing trips are 20 to 25 vehicles in am peak hour. this relates to 0.23 to 0.185 vehicles per 100 houses This seems quite ridiculous on development of 10800 houses. The proposed new railway station is to the east of the A1 and is unlikely to be reached by commuters other than by car. If larger new settlements are the only way forward they should be focused around the railway stations
