Transport Statements and Assessments in North East Lincolnshire
What transport evidence a North East Lincolnshire 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
North East Lincolnshire's Local Plan (March 2018) sets no numeric parking standards. Policy 38 asks for appropriate vehicle, powered two wheeler and cycle parking, judged against accessibility, the type and use of the development, public transport and local car ownership, so agree provision with the Council early.
