consider rewording to say “…and the requirements for good quality, inclusive infrastructure to support sustainable travel options.”

New item for inclusion under Issues and Constraints (starts at 5.60) – The council will need to consider technological changes such as electric vehicle infrastructure, long term changes in people’s travel patterns and nature of work to ensure development plans meet these changing needs.
