INF1: Sustainable Transport
(a) Development that generates additional traffic movements must incorporate a balanced provision of transport facilities, including accessible, secure and covered storage for cycles (including for all new dwellings).
(b) Development must not encroach onto footpaths, bridleways, cycle paths and byways.
(c) Development adjacent to footpaths, bridleways, cycle paths and byways must have no adverse impact on their amenity, accessibility, or safety. Improvements to ensure access for all will be sought where appropriate.
(d) Development should take opportunities to promote cycling and walking, including by providing links to adjacent footpaths, bridleways, cycle paths and byways.
(e) Transport infrastructure works required to accommodate new development must have no adverse impact on the rural or historic character of the area.
(f) New-build development must include charging points for electric vehicles, in close proximity to garage and/or parking spaces.
(g) Parking for residential properties must be within the curtilage of each dwelling or in close proximity, in clear view of the properties being served. Proposals for rear or remote parking courts will not be supported.
(h) A mix of parking provision is encouraged, including garages and private spaces, so that the public realm is not dominated by car parking. The provision of wider garages and garage entrances, to accommodate larger family vehicles, is encouraged.
