Neighbourhood planning advice

Transport

The County Council is the local highway authority. You should consult us on the highway and transport implications of your neighbourhood plan.

Allocation of sites

If your neighbourhood plan allocates development sites, you must show evidence that you have considered the highway and transport impacts. This means demonstrating that:

  • Safe access to the site can be created
  • The local road network, including footpaths, is suitable for safe and sustainable development

Your evidence should cover things like:

  • Junction layouts
  • Road and pavement widths
  • Or show that suitable improvements are achievable.

You may need to engage technical specialists to provide this evidence.
