SD3: Active & Sustainable Travel
Working with stakeholders, the Council will support schemes and development proposals which enhance the accessibility and connectivity between people and places by active and sustainable forms of travel. This will be achieved by:
- Supporting and implementing the objectives and strategies of the Surrey Local Transport Plan, strategies and projects prepared by Transport for the South East or agreed under the Duty to Cooperate, and schemes which help to alleviate existing transport and highway problems in Runnymede or the wider area as identified through further partnership working;
- Supporting developments, including sites allocated in this Plan, which integrate with or provide new accessible, safe and attractive active and sustainable travel networks and routes to service and employment centres and rail interchanges;
- Requiring development proposals, including sites allocated in this Plan, which generate significant traffic movements to submit and implement Travel Plans demonstrating how active and sustainable travel options have been considered and how they will be delivered as well as the remedial actions to be taken should monitoring reveal that Travel Plan targets have been missed;
- Securing improvements to or contributions towards improving the capacity of cycle parking at the Borough’s rail stations;
- Refusing planning permission for any development which would compromise the delivery of the mitigation works required to the A320 and/or M25 Junction 11.
- Securing funding from a range of sources including developer contributions to deliver projects set out within the Runnymede Infrastructure Delivery Plan for transport schemes and highway improvements.
