DP5: Highway Safety & Design
A. Development will be permitted subject to meeting the requirements of all other appropriate Development Plan policies and where the proposal:
- Complies with the relevant Highway Authority’s and any other highways design guidance;
- Does not unnecessarily impede the free flow of traffic on the existing network or create hazards to that traffic and other road users;
- Retains or enhances existing footpaths and cycleway links;
- Provides safe and suitable access to the site which is achievable by all and promotes access by public transport, foot and bicycle to nearby residential, commercial, retail, educational, leisure and recreational areas where appropriate; and
- Fully funds where appropriate, or contributes towards the costs of any measures required to cost effectively mitigate the significant impacts arising from the development.
B. In accordance with the Council’s Local Validation Requirements and national guidance, all development proposals that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Travel Plan and either a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment (proportionate to the scale of the proposed scheme and extent of the transport implications), both of which should be submitted alongside the planning application.
