Using the planning system to reduce transport emissions
• Specification of minimum emissions standards to be achieved by service vehicles accessing the site
• Residential car parking with a graduated annual charge depending on Euro standard and/or vehicle VED rating
• Contributions to enhance provision of local public transport, supporting deployment of low emission technologies
• Provision of electrical vehicle charging points
• Provision of car club, deploying low emission vehicles
Some Key Planning Measures…
‘a package of policies & measures…’
‘secured through a combination of planning conditions & legal obligations…’
‘to mitigate the transport impacts of development by accelerating the uptake of low emission transport fuels and technologies in and around a new development…’
‘Encouraging wider adoption of low emission strategies by local authorities and supporting the effective use of associated policies and measures’
