CS26 Promoting alternatives to the car
The Council will support a wide range of measures to provide safer and more reliable alternatives to the car for accessing new development and existing development and other destinations across the Borough including:
- improved public transport facilities;
- additional public transport routes and stops;
- enhanced and new non-motorised links (including Greenways) within and between urban and rural areas, along or additional to the existing rights of way and highways network, which increase walking, cycling or riding opportunities; and
- the safeguarding of proposed non-motorised routes, where necessary, to preclude development occurring which would prevent their future implementation.
New developments will be assessed in terms of their accessibility by a range of transport modes and where appropriate, measures to promote alternatives to the car will need to be provided as part of a proposed scheme, having regard to the requirements of the Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document, and the adopted Greenway Strategy.
