Camden UDP Deposit Draft 2003 – Section 12 - Transport Proposals Section 12 - Transport Proposals TP1 - Schedule of Transport Proposals The Council will not grant planning permission for development that would compromise the implementation of transport schemes included in the Schedule of Transport Proposals. 12.1 The Schedule of Transport Proposals below sets out the major transport schemes likely to affect land use in the Borough during the plan period. It includes schemes promoted by the Strategic Rail Authority, Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL). It does not contain traffic management schemes, which are put forward to TfL each year through the Borough [Transport] Spending Plan. 12.2 Many of the schemes involve underground works and, in these cases, consultation with Strategic Rail Authority and Transport for London is needed before foundations or piles can be permitted. Most schemes also require the use of land at ground level for access, facilities and parts of the network.
