Transport Statements and Assessments in Huntingdonshire
What transport evidence a Huntingdonshire 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
Huntingdonshire's Local Plan sets no numeric car parking standards. Policy LP 17 asks for parking justified case by case, at least one secure cycle space per bedroom for new homes, and cycle parking for new town centre uses of 600 square metres or more.
