DMT 2: Highways Impacts
Development proposals must ensure that:
- safe and efficient vehicular access to the highway network is provided to the Council’s standards;
- they do not contribute to the deterioration of air quality, noise or local amenity or safety of all road users and residents;
- safe, secure and convenient access and facilities for cyclists and pedestrian are satisfactorily accommodated in the design of highway and traffic management schemes;
- impacts on local amenity and congestion are minimised by routing through traffic by the most direct means to the strategic road network, avoiding local distributor and access roads; and
- there are suitable mitigation measures to address any traffic impacts in terms of capacity and functions of existing and committed roads, including along roads or through junctions which are at capacity.
