POLICY STR/3 - MITIGATING TRAVEL IMPACT
- New developments will be required to mitigate the undesirable effects of travel, such as noise, pollution, impact on amenity and health and other environmental impacts.
- Where a proposed development is likely to have significant transport implications, the Council will require developers to submit a Transport Assessment and a Travel Plan with the planning application. A Road Safety Audit may also be required.
- Where the proposed development is considered to have significant transport implications on a wider area, financial contributions will be required towards improvements in transport infrastructure, in particular to support public transport, cycling and walking, in accordance with the development principles in Section 4 – Spatial Policies, Key Diagrams & Supporting Development Control Policies.
- The Council may also require developers to submit a Transport Statement for other development proposals where there is need to understand the traffic impact of the proposal.
