SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL

Moving new developments towards sustainable modes of transport, including active travel (walking and cycling), reduces the contribution to carbon dioxide build-up in the atmosphere, and poor air quality. Practical ways to meet sustainable transport objects adopts a hierarchy of modal options:

1. Walking and Cycling: providing wide pavements ensuring pedestrians are prioritised over cars

2. Public transport: providing accessibility and infrastructure for public transport and shared services

3. Private vehicle: promoting low-emission vehicle ownership and provision of EV charging points
