SADM 3 Sustainable Travel for All
- All developments at or above the thresholds set out in Hertfordshire County Council’s Hertfordshire Travel Plan Guidance will be required to submit a Travel Plan as part of a planning application.
Development proposals should make provision where appropriate for: - Cyclists, through safe design and layout of routes integrated into new development and the wider cycle network and provision of secure cycle parking and where appropriate changing facilities.
- Pedestrians (including disabled persons and those with impaired mobility), through safe, accessible, direct and convenient design and layout of routes within the new development and wider pedestrian network.
- Safeguarding existing Public Rights of Way and promoting enhancements to the network, where appropriate, to offer walking and cycling opportunities.
- Public transport, through measures that will improve and support public transport and provide new public transport routes.
- Community transport, through the implementation of Travel Plans where appropriate (for example including measures that will promote car pools, car sharing and voluntary community buses, community services and cycle schemes).
- Servicing and emergency vehicles.
- Facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles.
