The SRN should be considered in respect to the freight movements on the outcome of the Manston Airport decision on a DCO. It is not clear to me if the frieght movements and added traffic from Thanet will add more load to the SRN. ALso is this a policy to revist after a DCO being granted?

We note that necessary transport assessment work has been completed so far as the production of the current Local Plan. However, there will be an on-going requirement under the general Duty to Co-operate and under the requirements to monitor and manage the delivery of local plans and other local growth to ensure that the transport evidence base is kept up-to-date. Therefore, we consider that text to this effect should be included in the plan in lieu of the deleted policy.
