T2 Prioritising the Use of Sustainable Vehicular Options
Proposals for new development should:
- Prioritise alternatives to the private car to reduce the dominance of car use and address peak traffic issues in Grove Park and to improve environmental quality, in line with Policies SE1-SE2.
- Incorporate low emission vehicle refuelling infrastructure such as electric charging points or make a financial contribution to the provision of electric charging points in the area in appropriate locations that do not impact the use and accessibility of the public realm.
- Provide at least 1 Electric Vehicle (EV) ‘rapid charge’ point should be provided per 10 residential dwellings and 1 point per 1000m2 of commercial floorspace, or as appropriately evidenced through a robust Travel Plan. iv. For medium density schemes, promote the establishment of car club schemes utilising electric vehicles.
