1. To ensure that residents can access social, community, public transport, schools, retail and other important facilities in Totternhoe and in neighbouring settlements in a sustainable and safe way, all new developments should ensure safe pedestrian access to link up with the existing footpath and cycleway network, and public transport network, as defined in Figure 8.1 and on the Policies Map.

2. The provision of new, or the enhancement of existing, cycle and pedestrian routes that are physically separated from vehicular traffic and from one another will be strongly supported. Such routes should be of permeable material where possible and also ensure that access by disabled users and users of mobility scooters is secured.

3. The design and layout of works related to the widening of footpaths or the provision of traffic-calming measures should enhance the rural, village character, for example retaining hedgerows, trees and soft verges where possible. Materials and layout must be sympathetic to local character, in accordance with Policy T4 (Character and Heritage) of this Neighbourhood Plan, the CBC Design Guide and the Chilterns Buildings Design Guide.

4. Loss of public bridleways and footpaths will not be approved unless suitable alternatives are provided.
