Transport
As part of the evidence base to support the Local Plan Review a Transport Study has been undertaken.
This study considers the potential transport impacts of the Local Plan Review’s development strategy and will identify the package of measures required to achieve the most sustainable outcomes.
A Stage 1 Scoping Report was produced which sets out a high-level assessment of existing travel and transport in the National Park including a connectivity analysis. Based on this review, this includes a transport vision and set of objectives and a proposed methodology for the Stage 2 Assessment, which has been shared with the Local Highway Authorities, National Highways and Active Travel England.
A draft Stage 2 Assessment has been prepared and shared with these stakeholders. Further iterations of this Stage 2 Assessment will be required if there are significant changes to the development strategy, and more detailed transport modelling may be required for the strategic sites.
