Land Use Allocations and Transport Choice
New development should offer realistic access choices by walking, cycling and public transport while accommodating private car use; higher density and mixed-use development may be suitable in highly accessible urban areas.
A key planning objective is to ensure that new development offers a realistic choice of access by walking, cycling and public transport, whilst accommodating responsible use of the private car. The allocation of land for various uses in a development plan will therefore need to take into account the overall aims of transportation policy and matters flowing from the transport study, such as accessibility analysis. Sites in larger urban areas highlighted by this process as being highly accessible by a variety of modes of transport may be identified as suitable locations for higher density and mixed-use development.
