  7. TAF Current work • Each of ten strategy development option being appraised to assess, in relative terms, their transport based sustainability in terms of ensuring that: • Both existing and new residents have the highest achievable degree of accessibility to employment places • Both existing and new employers can draw upon the widest number of employed residents • Overall, residents in any given area have the maximum level of accessibility to residents in other areas. return

  8. Sustainable developments • Consider the location of Growth points in terms of their connectivity to large urban areas, major zones of employment, retail/leisure facilities and the existing road and rail network • Endeavour to provide a variety of employment opportunities and other community facilities (such as schools, health centres etc) on site to reduce the need to travel • Ensure that Growth Points are planned to best integrate with existing land-use. return
