DP3: Transport Impacts of Development
Development will only be permitted where it is appropriately located and makes suitable provision to minimise and manage the arising transport impacts, in line with Core Strategy policies CS15 and CS16. Localised residual impacts on the highway network should be addressed by well-designed off-site transport measures. Adverse effects on residential amenity or the environment must be minimised.
Development will not be permitted where the localised residual impacts from the development on its own, or in combination with other planned developments in the area, result in severe impacts on one or more of the following:
- road traffic congestion and air quality;
- safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road-users;
- excessive pressure for on-street parking.
