Walkability balance sheet Part 4 – Walkability balance sheet Positive Negative The balance sheet allows the good and bad characteristics of the walkable catchment of a development application to be summarised and weighed up against one another. Each factor relates to a page in the previous section and the text reflects the impact this factor will have on a development’s walkability. P1. Visual stimuli The application will provide a visually rich and interesting environment providing distractions that will make walking more appealing. Check N1. Intrusion/friction The application will expose the walker to events and experiences that make the journey more difficult and less pleasant. Check P2. Comfort N2. Exposure The application will provide a comfortable walking environment including shelter and opportunities to rest. Check The application will result in a walking environment that leaves users exposed to the elements. Check 3. Choice of routes N3. Excesive distance or time The application will provide a well connected network of paths giving users a choice of alternate routes. Check The application will not provide a number of core destinations that are generally of significance to the wider community within a ten minute walking distance. Check P4. Positive walking bias N4. Negative walking bias The application will provide an environment where pedestrians are aware that walking is not just possible but favoured ahead of other transport modes. Check The application will result in a walking environment that feels like it is favouring other transport modes. Check P5. Articulation of opportunities N5. Risk The application will result in a clearly legible pedestrian environment which enables users to make informed decisions about the walking opportunities open to them. Check The application will result in a walking environment where users feel they are exposing themselves to elevated levels of risk. Check If the development results in more possitive factors than negative factors then the development should be considered walkable. Total P /5 N /5
