Future increases in walking and cycling, not least the cycle superhighway identified in the London Plan for Peckham High Street, and space that might be required for this, should have been considered in Southwark council's Peckham Square plans. Why did the comments and observations from Transport for London (TfL) on the Peckham Square planning application not highlight the applicant's failure to comply with the network management duty?

Transport for London (TfL) has raised concerns about "reducing pedestrian circulation space at such a critical, central location" and inadequate cycling facilities arising from Southwark Council's planning application (reference 16/AP/3075) to build on Peckham Square. In light of another recent pedestrian fatality, will you call on the borough to suspend issuing planning permission until there is an independent review of space required to provide for a significant increase in walking and cycling at that location?
