9: Pavements & Pedestrians

Pedestrian access in the Area - particularly in and around the West Hampstead Growth Area - shall be improved by development that takes into account the following:

  1. Provides safe and wide pavements, giving the maximum possible space to pedestrians.
  2. Is set well back from the pavement, where appropriate, with the aim of giving additional pavement space.
  3. Improves accessibility for disabled people and those with push chairs.
  4. Contributes to improved and safer pedestrian crossings - particularly on the roads listed in D14.
  5. Increases the amount of space for pedestrians around public transport facilities.
  6. Improves the existing network of paths in the Area.
  7. Contributes to the provision of new paths and, where viable, new crossings over the railway lines.
