Policy 34 Highway Infrastructure Provision

In determining planning applications, The Council will:

A: require all development to be designed to ensure ease of access for people with disabilities or mobility impairments;

B: consider proposals for new vehicle accesses and new or extended vehicle crossings subject to road safety requirements and their compliance with the Council’s Vehicle Crossing guidelines. The following principles will be applied for new accesses:

  • Strategic routes: no direct access will normally be permitted;
  • All other classified roads: vehicle crossings will be permitted, subject to a road safety audit demonstrating acceptability to the Council, and;
  • The impact of vehicle crossings upon the availability of on-street parking will need to be considered.

C: Any vehicle crossing on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) will require approval from TfL, as highway authority for these roads.

D: Require new residential roads suitable for adoption to be constructed as per the guidelines set out in its Design Manual for development (LBB) with contributions being sought to improve the nearby road network, where necessary, to support a proposed development.

E: where appropriate, developments may be expected to contribute towards the cost of implementation of the strategic transport schemes either through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or S106 Agreements.
