• Adequate facilities are provided on site, prior to first occupation, to

sustainable travel.
• An initial travel survey is submitted by all new residents to establish
a base-line which will assist in encouraging alternative travel
patterns and to monitor change.

Cycle/pedestrian routes
2.9.18 Policy T7 outlines that the District Council will seek to promote the
objectives of the national cycling strategy by encouraging the
development of a quality cycle route network including ensuring that
developers make fair and reasonable contributions towards the cost of
providing cycle parking facilities and cycle routes on new developments
which link to nearby existing or proposed routes or facilities and
ensuring that new development proposals do not sever points used by
cyclists/pedestrians unless satisfactory alternative routes are made
available. Policy T7 also states that “in assessing all development
proposals, special regard will be given to the opportunity of
improving/creating cycle routes and providing cycle parking”.
2.9.19 At the site specific level, Policy SHB/1B states the proposals must
make provision for:
(2) An interlinked system of amenity space, cycleways and footpaths,
providing access to adjoining residential areas, the town centre,
the railway station and employment areas;
2.9.20 RSS policies T1, T2 and T3 relate to the encouragement of modal shift
/ personal travel reduction and parking.
2.9.21 In terms of pedestrian access the indicative plan shows how roads
could have parallel footways to ensure pedestrian and cycle
accessibility and also how the footpath along the southern and northern
boundaries could be retained and could link into the Low Street/Moor
Lane development.
Car Parking within the Scheme
2.9.22 The detailed site layout will be considered as part of the required
reserved matters submissions should outline consent be granted.
