M12: Encouraging sustainable movement

  1. To ensure that residents can access social, community, public transport, schools, retail and other important facilities both within Maulden and in neighbouring settlements, new developments, as appropriate to their location and scale, should ensure safe pedestrian, and where feasible cycle, access to link up with the existing public transport, footpath and cycleway network, as defined in Figure 7.1.
  2. Development proposals to improve cycling and walking opportunities and infrastructure will be supported, including new linkages and improvements, secure cycle parking and improvements to surfacing, as shown in Figure 7.1. In particular, provision of cycle and pedestrian routes that are physically separated from vehicular traffic and from one another will be strongly supported. Such routes should also incorporate access by disabled users and users of mobility scooters.
  3. Where viable and relevant to the development, financial contributions will be sought towards the improvement of the cycling and walking network.
  4. In implementing this policy, where practicably feasible, consideration should also be given to providing and/or improving safe access to the bridlepath network for horse riders.
