While the Council has a limited role in planning transport and travel infrastructure—most of which is managed by higher-level organisations—we do have the authority to require developers to contribute financially or to provide sustainable travel options, such as cycleways and footpaths, within new developments.

Chapter 13 of the further issues and options paper asks, should we...

  • Option A - Change transport provision within new developments to focus on high quality and plentiful infrastructure for active travel and public transport rather than prioritising road users. To help deliver this, a high proportion of developer contributions to transport and travel issues would be spent on active travel and public transport infrastructure.

  • Option B - Continue with the current approach of encouraging active travel and public transport through some provision of infrastructure within new developments but carry on trying to limit the impact of cars and lorries from them by building roads and upgrading junctions. To help deliver this, a high proportion of developer contributions to transport and travel issues would be spent on road and junction upgrades.

  • Option C - Consider an alternative option. Please let us know.
