CR1 Street Network
The Council will require a well connected, inclusive and legible network of streets to be maintained and enhanced.
To deliver this the Council will:
- require, in areas of regeneration and large scale redevelopment, the new street network to be inspired by the borough’s historic street patterns to ensure optimal connectivity and accessibility;
- require new street networks to be established with a clear function, hierarchy and choice of routes, designed to optimise connectivity, accessibility and legibility, and to reflect the historic and finely grained block structure of the borough;
- require new links and the removal of barriers that disconnect access for pedestrians, cyclists and people with limited mobility;
- require new streets to be built to adoptable standards;
- resist the gating of existing streets and the development of new gated communities;
- require new streets to be designed to be attractive, safe, minimise opportunities for crime, and be inclusive to all.
