Transport Assessments and Travel Plans
Transport Assessments are required to evaluate development impacts on transport movement and infrastructure. Travel Plans may be required to establish measures promoting more sustainable travel patterns.
Transport Assessments will be used by the Council to fully assess the impact of development on existing transport movement, local infrastructure and how proposals will contribute to wider government policy aimed at achieving more sustainable travel patterns and reducing environmental impacts. The Council will apply the 'Transport Assessment: Guidelines for Development Proposals in Northern Ireland' (DoE/DRD 2006) as supplementary guidance. Travel Plans may be required to supplement the Transport Assessment process and set out a package of complementary measures for the overall delivery of more sustainable travel patterns.
