The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 4.10 of PPS 12 (June 2008) is clear that boroughs should safeguard land where there is a reasonable prospect of provision, and inclusion in the table should be taken as evidence that this is the case. Boroughs who have all or part of any of the transport schemes identified in table 6.1 of the Plan in their area should check their status with TfL before they bring forward relevant DPDs so they can assess what degree of safeguarding they should put in their plans, in accordance with PPS12. 6.13 Securing the land needed for transport (for a range of purposes, from ventilation shafts to facilities for bus drivers), and protecting it from development, has proved difficult in London. This pressure had been felt most in the places where land is most required. Release of this transport land should only occur in consultation with the relevant transport organisations, and where alternative transport uses for the site concerned have been fully explored. The Mayor will consider the need to issue updated supplementary guidance on Land for Transport Functions. POLICY 6.3 ASSESSING EFFECTS OF DEVELOPMENT ON TRANSPORT CAPACITY Planning decisions A Development proposals should ensure that impacts on transport capacity and the transport network, at both a corridor and local level, are fully assessed. Development should not adversely affect safety on the transport network. B Where existing transport capacity is insufficient to allow for the travel generated by proposed developments, and no firm plans exist for an increase in capacity to cater for this, boroughs should ensure that development proposals are phased until it is known these requirements can be met, otherwise they may be refused. The cumulative impacts of development on transport requirements must be taken into account. C Transport assessments will be required in accordance with TfL’s Transport Assessment Best Practice Guidance for major planning applications. Workplace and/or residential travel plans should be provided for planning applications exceeding the thresholds in, and produced in accordance with, the relevant TfL guidance. Construction logistics plans and delivery and servicing plans should be secured in line with the London Freight Plan and should be co-ordinated with travel plans. LDF preparation D Boroughs should take the lead in exploiting opportunities for development in areas where appropriate transport accessibility and capacity exist or is being introduced. Boroughs should facilitate opportunities to integrate major transport proposals with development in a way that supports London Plan priorities. E LDFs should include policies requiring transport assessments, travel plans, construction logistics and delivery/servicing plans as set out in C above. 6.14 Allowing development, either individually or cumulatively, that would place an unacceptable burden on either the public transport network and/or the Page 182 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version road network would be contrary to the objective of sustainable development. Phasing development (where this is appropriate), the use of travel plans and addressing freight issues may all help reduce the impact of development on the transport network and reduce emissions of gases that contribute to climate change. 6.15 In practical terms, this means ensuring that new developments that will give rise to significant numbers of new trips should be located either where there is already good public transport accessibility with capacity adequate to support the additional demand or where there is a realistic prospect of additional accessibility or capacity being provided in time to meet the new demand. This principle should be reflected in the documentation submitted by applicants and in decisions on planning applications, with appropriate use made of planning conditions, planning obligations and, in due course, the Community Infrastructure Levy to ensure a joined-up approach to transport demand and availability of capacity. Connecting London POLICY 6.4 ENHANCING LONDON’S TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY Strategic A The Mayor will work with strategic partners in neighbouring regions to: a ensure effective transport policies and projects to support the sustainable development of the London city region and the wider south east of England b develop efficient and effective cross-boundary transport services and policies – including exploring the scope for high speed rail services reducing the need for short- and some medium-haul air travel. B The Mayor will work with strategic partners to improve the public transport system in London, including cross-London and orbital rail links to support future development and regeneration priority areas, and increase public transport capacity by: a implementing Crossrail, the Mayor’s top strategic transport priority for London (see Policy 6.5 and paragraph 6.21) b completing upgrades to, and extending, the London Underground network c implementing a high frequency Londonwide service on the national rail network d enhancing the different elements of the London Overground network to implement an orbital rail network e completing the Thameslink programme f developing the Chelsea–Hackney line (Crossrail 2) later in the plan period g improving and expanding London’s international and national transport links for passengers and freight (for example, High Speed 2) h seeking improved access by public transport to airports, ports and international rail termini i improving the reliability, quality and safety of inter-regional rail services including domestic services for commuters, while Page 183 of 310
