P50 Highways impacts

Development must:

  • Minimise the demand for private car journeys; and
  • Demonstrate that the road network has sufficient capacity to support any increase in the number of the journeys by the users of the development, taking into account the cumulative impact of adjoining or nearby development; and
  • Ensure safe and efficient operation of the local road network, the bus network and the Transport for London Road Network; and
  • Ensure safe and efficient delivery and servicing that minimises the number of motor vehicle journeys; and
  • Incorporate delivery and servicing within major development sites and not on the public highway; and
  • Demonstrate how the construction phase of the development that needs to use the public highway can be safely accomplished, and how vehicular movements will be minimised and strictly controlled to reduce danger to vulnerable road users
