Land Use Allocation in Cities and Towns

In cities and towns, land use allocations should help support existing public transport provision and provide the potential to improve it. Ways should be sought to maximise the potential of the railway network where available, and facilitate the development of new bus or rail services, together with measures that will help support walking and cycling. Key site requirements should identify significant new transport infrastructure and services needed to allow the development of zoned land and to support the integration of transportation and land use. Consideration should also be given to the phasing and linking of development with a co-ordinated programme of transport infrastructure investment.
