MP1 Pedestrian and Cycle Networks

Where appropriate development proposals will be expected to facilitate:

  • The implementation of schemes that connect to existing networks and provide pedestrian and cycle linkages between schemes and surrounding roads, residential areas, and when in close proximity, to the River Wandle and the Wandle Valley Regional Park.
  • The encouragement of walking, and other modes of transport to reduce emissions from road vehicles.
  • Improvement in east-west movement, wherever possible, for pedestrians and cyclists in the neighbourhood area to the River Wandle, Wandle Valley Regional Park and across London Road.
  • The provision of secure and safe ‘parking’ for bicycles within the public realm of new developments.
  • The provision of appropriate signage to footpaths and cycle ways within developments.
