Policy Objectives - Primary and Secondary

27. The primary objective of this PPS is to integrate land use planning and transport by: • promoting sustainable transport choices; • promoting accessibility for all; and • reducing the need to travel, especially by private car. 28. The following secondary objectives as set out in PPS 3 "Access, Movement and Parking" will complement this: • make efficient use of road space within the context of promoting modal shift to more sustainable forms of transport; • ensure that new development offers a realistic choice of access by walking, cycling and public transport, recognizing that this may be less achievable in some rural areas; • ensure the needs of people with disabilities and others whose mobility is impaired are taken into account in relation to accessibility to buildings and parking provision; • promote the provision of adequate facilities for cyclists in new development; • promote parking policies that will assist in reducing reliance on the private car and help tackle growing congestion; and • protect routes required for new transport schemes including disused transport routes with potential for future reuse.
