will help to address these issues and brings with it a range of new opportunities, such

infrastructure is essential for sustainable economic growth and plays a vital role in
enhancing the provision of local community facilities and services.

POLICIES

Policy ASW 20 – Impact of new development on traffic

Proposals for new development must meet both of the following criteria:

(a) Provide safe access for vehicles and pedestrians with adequate visibility;
and

(b) Include an assessment of the additional traffic likely to be generated by
the development, its impact on pedestrians, cyclists, road safety, parking
and congestion within the parish. This should demonstrate that traffic
reduction measures have been considered to avoid negative impacts
prior to providing measures to mitigate the impacts of increased traffic.

Policy ASW 21 – Parking Provision

(a) Development proposals that generate an increased need for parking
must provide adequate and suitable off-street parking in order to
minimise obstruction of the local road network in the interests of the
safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. In the case of
residential development, a minimum of two parking spaces will be
required for units with 1 – 3 bedrooms, and a minimum of three parking
spaces will be required for units with 4 or more bedrooms; unless it can
be satisfactorily demonstrated that an alternative provision would be
appropriate on a specific site. Parking spaces can take the form of spaces
or garaging/car port facilities, but must be permanently available for
parking use.

(b) Proposals that would reduce the existing level of off-street parking
provision will be resisted unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated
that the amount of overall provision is adequate.
