DM29: Promoting Sustainable Travel and Reducing Congestion

To promote sustainable growth in Croydon and reduce the impact of traffic congestion development should:

  • Promote measures to increase the use of public transport, cycling and walking;
  • Have a positive impact and must not have a detrimental impact on highway safety for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and private vehicles; and
  • Not result in a severe impact on the transport networks local to the site which would detract from the economic and environmental regeneration of the borough by making Croydon a less accessible and less attractive location in which to develop.
