CC2: Sustainable Travel
The Council will seek to secure more sustainable travel patterns by:
- supporting measures and specific schemes to improve facilities for non-car based travel including Staines’ role as a public transport interchange,
- requiring development needing access by a large number of people to be located where it is or can be made accessible by non-car means of transport,
- requiring all major development to be accompanied by a site specific travel plan to promote and achieve sustainable travel choices,
- only permitting traffic generating development where it is or can be made compatible with the transport infrastructure in the area taking into account:
- number and nature of additional traffic movements, including servicing needs,
- capacity of the local transport network,
- cumulative impact including other proposed development,
- access and egress to the public highway,
- highway safety.
