CS 5 Reducing the Need to Travel
To reduce the need to travel, particularly by car the Council will:
- protect and enhance the availability of employment and key facilities including shops, healthcare and leisure facilities within local communities
- locate major trip generating development in accessible locations well served by public transport including Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth and Kingston Town Centres. Sites that have poor levels of accessibility by sustainable modes will not usually be considered suitable for development that could generate high numbers of trips.
- retain the Aggregates Depot, Kingston Road, Tolworth to provide a strategic rail-based aggregates facility (Strategic Rail Freight Site)
