ST3 Transport Assessments

The Council requires that applications for major development, or with significant transport implications, will be accompanied by Transport Assessments. Relevant proposals which do not include assessments will not be registered as planning applications. An assessment should ensure that a major development meets the need for the site to be accessible by sustainable modes of transport, by providing an alternative to the private car. Where significant implications are identified, permission will be refused unless measures to reduce these impacts to acceptable levels are included as part of the assessment. Where significant implications are identified and permission is granted, the Council may use legal agreements to ensure that the measures are implemented.
