CS 18 Transport Options and Accessibility

The availability of travel options and access will be given significant weight in allocating land for development and in considering development proposals.

Transport schemes that lead to improvements in accessibility and give priority to the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transport will be supported.

Development proposals will be required to be consistent with, and contribute to the implementation of the Surrey Local Transport Plan.

The Council will require the submission of Travel Plans to accompany applications for development proposals above thresholds to be established through the Development Management Policies Development Plan Document. Such plans will be a condition of the granting of planning permission and implemented through a Section 106 agreement.

All new housing and commercial development will be subject to the development tariff, a component of which will be directed towards enhanced public transport, promotion of more sustainable transport choices and to support improvements in the range of transport options and accessibility to services and facilities by means other than the private car (in accordance with Policy CS17).
