Potential Actions - Transport

Green Transport Plans

Green Transport Plans are wide ranging strategy documents for developments which cover the types of actions that may be engaged with to ensure that the issues highlighted by the policy are addressed. A Green Transport Plan will be specific to the development. It will be driven by the scale of the development and the potential impact on the existing transport infrastructure.

Traffic Impact Assessment

A Traffic Impact Assessment may be required for larger developments. This may be a requirement of the planning or highways authority. This demonstrates the potential impact that a development may have on the traffic in the surrounding area.

Facilities for Cyclists

The provision of facilities for people to cycle to work instead of driving can be a useful way of removing the needs for parking and cars. This may include bicycle storage facilities and showers within the development to allow people to cycle to work.

Better Integration with Public Transport

Another method of removing cars is to ensure that people travelling to and from the site can make use of public transport. This may be based on the location of the site, or for larger developments, a more detailed integration with public transport links.
