SP7: Climate Change and Transport
The Council will seek to minimise the impact of climate change. It will reduce the impact of development in contributing to climate change by:
- promoting the inclusion of provision for renewable energy, energy conservation and waste management facilities in both new and existing developments,
- ensuring development is located in a way that reduces the need to travel and encourages alternatives to car use, and its design and layout takes account of climate change,
- supporting initiatives, including travel plans, to encourage non car-based travel,
- promoting the efficient use and conservation of water resources,
- promoting measures to reduce flooding and the risks from flooding,
- supporting measures to enhance and manage Staines’ role as a public transport interchange.
