Green travel plans

Three of the key objectives of the Local Transport Plan (LTP) for the county are

• To reduce the need for the movement of people and goods through integrated land use planning, the promotion of sustainable distribution and the use of telecommunications.
  
  
• To provide a transport system which provides access to employment, shopping, education, leisure and health facilities for all especially those without a car and those with impaired mobility.
  
  
• To raise awareness and encourage the use of alternative modes of transport through effective promotion, publicity and information.

We hope to help developers achieve a balance between Communities and Local Government's planning and policy guidance on transport (PPG13) and our Local Transport Plan objectives. We promote a structured partnership approach to Green Travel Plans.
