Draft Policy TRAN5 – Creating Coherent Networks for Cycling and Walking

Draft Policy TRAN5 seeks to encourage the development of sustainable modes of travel and ensure that places are well-connected with attractive, convenient, direct and safe routes available to non-car users.

As part of the proposed indicative layout for the Site, shown within the Vision Document at Appendix 2, a new pedestrian and cycle link will be created via the Site between Bosty Lane and Middlemore Lane West. This will improve accessibility in the local area to nearby facilities in Rushall and public transport services on Bosty Lane itself.

In terms of cycle parking provision, the quantum and design is likely to be addressed as the proposals for the Site evolve, and consultation with the Local Authority is undertaken.
