The TA examines the forecast generation of trips and assesses the impact of the development proposals on the surrounding transport infrastructure, and also highlighitng the sustainable transport strategy for the scheme. This TA also includes a section setting out the Delivery and Servicing Plan (DSP) for the proposed development. The following management documents should also be read in conjunction with this TA: ¡ Travel Plan ¡ Outline Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) 1.5 APPLICABLE PLANNING FRAMEWORK The proposed scheme has been developed with full consideration of the National, Regional and Local planning framework and legislative guidance. This report will demonstrate how the development proposals comply with the following: ¡ National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, 2019) ¡ National Planning Practice Guidance (MHCLG, 2014) ¡ The Mayor’s Transport Strategy (GLA, 2018) 38-40 CROYDON ROAD, WEST WICKHAM CONFIDENTIAL | WSP Project No.: 70072031 | Our Ref No.: 70072031 December 2020 Threadneedle Pensions Ltd Page 9 of 68 ¡ Inted to Publish Draft London Plan (GLA, 2019) ¡ Healthy Streets for London (GLA, 2018) ¡ Vision Zero for London (GLA, 2018) ¡ The Bromley Local Plan (LBB, 2019) Key transport policy and guidance has been reviewed to provide a planning context for the assessment of the proposed development at a national, regional and local scale. 1.6 NATIONAL POLICY NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK (FEBRUARY 2019) The National Planning Policy Framework, (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied. It provides a framework within which locally-prepared plans for housing and other development can be produced and it contains a guideline of sustainability principles that development should achieve. The TA paragraphs, promoting Sustainable Transport, outline the requirements of development applications in relation to transport. In assessing developments consideration should be given on whether: ¡ appropriate opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes can be – or have been – taken up, given the type of development and its location; ¡ safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all users; and ¡ any significant impacts from the development on the transport network (in terms of capacity and congestion), or on highway safety, can be cost effectively mitigated to an acceptable degree.
