The schemes were then categorised into Strategic, Major and Local by applying a ‘Scale of Impact’ indicator to provide objective classifications for the schemes:

Strategic Major Local

cycle paths and new roads), support public transport services or promote 3.1 The LTP’s role is to set out the long-term strategy for transport within the behavioural change initiatives.

The initial round of MRN/LLM funding has been facilitated by the Sub-National Transport Bodies. 3.4 Ad hoc bidding opportunities may also arise.

The tables also contain information about funding (SRN), which is the network of motorways and Trunk Roads within the sources, approximate cost banding and the status of the scheme. Table 4 county.

This column therefore gives an indication as to

which schemes may be closer to delivery than others and/or which schemes may give districts greater opportunity to unlock housing or unemployment land.  Scheme Status: Some schemes have progressed further than others in terms of creating detailed plans, or producing business cases and may be at delivery sooner than others. This again may provide details that may influence the siting of housing and employment or which scheme should be carefully monitored so that a bid for funding can be submitted when appropriate.  Cost Band: This gives a very high level indication as to the likely cost of delivering the scheme. This will help to determine which funding streams may be more appropriate to submit a bid for such as Pinch Point Fund, Housing Infrastructure Fund or Large Local Major Fund, all of which have differing requirements and cost thresholds. This will help to ensure that funding bids are submitted to the most appropriate funding stream and where there is a better change of success.

Air quality in Gloucestershire is good. However, currently the county has seven areas declared under Section 83 of the Environment Act 1995 by district councils as Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs). The seven declared AQMAs in Gloucestershire test above the target objective levels for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) that have relevant exposure to Gloucestershire residents. In each case traffic is the main source of air pollution. Under The Air Quality (England) Regulations 2002 the highway authority has a duty to work in partnership with the district with the aim of reducing AQMAs. The target

On the 12th December 2015 a historic new global climate agreement has been struck at the United Nations conference on climate change in Paris. The deal sets out a clear long-term goal of net zero emissions by the end of the century. The target is to reduce per capita transport carbon emissions, in order to contribute to achieving the government’s climate change commitments as part of United Nations COP21 Agreement (COP21) resulting in zero transport based carbon emissions by the amended date of 2050. This target is in line with the UK Climate Change Act revision. This revision will be in line with the Government commitment to end the sale of all new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040.
