Transport Assessment
Planning Policy Guidance 13 Transport (March 2001) advises that a
Transport Assessment (TA) should be submitted as part of any planning
application where the proposed development has significant transport
implications. The coverage and detail of the TA should reflect the scale of the
development and the extent of the transport implications of the proposal. For
smaller schemes the TA should simply outline the transport aspects of the
application, while for major proposals, the TA should illustrate accessibility
to the site by all modes of transport, and the likely modal split of journeys
to and from the site. It should also give details of proposed measures to
improve access by public transport, walking and cycling, to reduce the need for
parking associated with the proposal, and to mitigate transport impacts.
Further guidance will be found in Guidance on Transport Assessment, (March 2007) published by the
Department for Transport.
