The study should also provide the basis to determine the extent to which potential development land is accessible by all modes of transport. Thus, it will help inform the process of land use allocatio

Where the transport study or transport plan puts forward any schemes or measures, which have land use implications, these should be identifi ed in the development plan. Further information on transpor

Accessibility by modes of transport other than the private car should be a key consideration in the location and design of development.

The location and design of development has a fundamental influence on travel patterns. In the allocation of land in a development plan and making decisions on development proposals, a key aim will be

The following criteria should be employed in the determination of land use, while also taking into account other planning polices and environmental aims: Accessibility by modes of transport other than

The development of tourism facilities and tourist nodes linked to a specifi c physical, cultural or historic site should provide for access by public transport, walking and cycling wherever feasible.

Reliance on the private car should be reduced through a modal shift to walking, cycling and public transport.

Walking and cycling are core components of an integrated transport approach and have considerable potential to reduce reliance on other forms of transport, particularly within urban areas. They both h
