30. Technological innovation in transport

A: Technological innovation in transport designed to improve mobility, reduce congestion and improve air quality will be supported where it does not compromise highway safety and other amenity and environmental concerns. The council will work with applicants, infrastructure providers and other stakeholders to minimise any negative impacts of these new technologies.

REFUELLING

B: Existing refuelling stations will be protected, unless demonstrated to be operationally unviable. Opportunities for new refuelling technologies, such as hydrogen refuelling and electric vehicle charging facilities, should be fully explored before a change of use is considered. New or replacement refuelling facilities will be directed to accessible locations on the strategic road network. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING FACILITIES

C: The council will support the continued roll out of on-street electric charging points for use by the general public across Westminster.

D: New development must incorporate vehicle charging facilities with a high level of active provision in line with the council’s parking policy.
