IDP fails to recognise the existing and future needs of Penkridge.
Highways - reclaim the village centre from the influence of A449. A western spine road requires further consideration and consultation.

New settlement unsustainable. Growth to west of Penkridge more sustainable - has potential to provide a western spine road enabling reclamation of village centre from the A449 and access to green infrastructure along River Penk.

WMI will have dramatic effects on Penkridge this needs to be reflected in the IDP policy. A449 should not be retained as a major transport corridor, consider a new spine road to the west.
