TR3: Minimising the Impact of Traffic Arising from New Development
New major development, or smallscale development likely to generate significant additional traffic movements and demand for parking, will be expected to demonstrate the following:
- That a transport assessment has been carried out, or a transport statement prepared, to quantify future vehicle movements to, from and within the site including links to existing transport networks. Appropriate connections to highways and street spaces should then be put forward to serve the development;
- Proposals should provide information on planned parking arrangements to demonstrate that there would be no detrimental loss of on-street parking or harmful impact from additional parking on the surrounding area and transport network;
- Developments requiring pick-up, drop off, or waiting areas, should put forward appropriate arrangements within the site where possible which will ensure safety and minimise congestion; and
- The development should protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of people and goods. In order to minimise traffic movements and parking demand and any associated harmful impacts, travel plans should be prepared and implemented in accordance with guidance from Transport for London and the Boroughs of Haringey and Camden.
