31st March : 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
The NPPF and Circular 01/2022 now provide for a positive, vision-led approach to transport planning for new communities, and this has only been strengthened in the recently published draft NPPF.
This webinar will look at these national policy shifts in transport development and new tools aiding in design and delivery. It will explore how planners can look at place connectivity for large scale development, examine proposals in the draft NPPF that facilitate development around underutilised train stations, and consider the role of vision-led transport planning when planning for new settlements.
We will be hearing from the Department for Transport, as well as private and public sector planners delivering major new transport schemes to help unlock development. We’ll then be hearing about the TCPA’s guidance for local authorities on Planning for the Climate Crisis: Promoting sustainable transport through planning.
This is part of the TCPA New Communities Group programme of events.
This event is kindly supported by Rovia Transport Planning.
