Transport Statements and Assessments in Broadland
What transport evidence a Broadland planning application needs, the parking standards that apply, and the policies an assessment should address.
Which document do you need?
National policy asks for a Transport Statement or a Transport Assessment wherever a development will generate significant amounts of movement.
Transport Statement
A shorter document for smaller schemes where transport issues are limited: access, parking, trips and sustainable travel.
Transport Assessment
A full assessment for larger schemes: trip generation, network impact, junction capacity and mitigation.
Parking standards
Broadland's Development Management DPD sets no numeric parking standards. Policy TS4 asks for appropriate parking and manoeuvring space to reflect the use, the location and its accessibility by non-car modes.
