Active Travel Networks and Sustainable Transport Infrastructure
Local development plans should identify active travel networks and prioritise pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport in urban areas whilst managing parking provision to reduce car dependency.
LDPs should identify active travel networks and provide a range of infrastructure improvements to increase use of more sustainable modes. In particular, within urban areas, providing enhanced priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport and an appropriate level of parking provision which is properly managed, should assist in reducing the number of cars in our urban areas.
