62 Public Transport

The Council will ensure that development is properly integrated with the public transport network by:

A. Working with TfL, Network Rail and other partners to reopen the Meridian Line and to facilitate improvements to public transport infrastructure (Bus, National Rail, Underground, or Overground network) with regard to capacity, provision of interchanges, step-free access and the phased introduction of a fully electric bus fleet;

B. Ensuring connectivity and integration of the public transport network with other transport modes, including walking and cycling within and outside the borough;

C. Supporting public transport schemes that seek to improve connectivity to areas with lower Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL), in line with Policy 94 ‘Infrastructure and Developer Contributions’; and

D. Seeking developer contributions towards enhancing public transport provision and infrastructure in order to mitigate any likely adverse impact of development.
