CS25: Dealing With the Impact of New Development on the Transport Network

Development proposals shall be consistent with, and contribute to, the implementation of the agreed transport strategies and priorities set out in the Buckinghamshire Local Transport Plan 3 (2011-16). Chiltern District Council will work with Buckinghamshire County Council and other relevant agencies to:

  • Where feasible, ensure that planned development in Chiltern District will not adversely impact the transport network.
  • Assess the impact of development proposals on the transport network, including public transport, traffic flows, air quality, accessibility levels and road safety. Provision for any necessary improvements or mitigation measures to reduce any negative impacts must be secured prior to final occupation of the development.
  • Identify and safeguard planned public transport, walking, cycling and road improvement lines from other development.
