S106agreements will be used to ensure that any transport improvements which are required in thevicinity of the development site are provided by the developer.Why is this not a Preferred Option?This approach would mean that the cross border impacts of transport would not be recognised.The cumulative negative impact of extra traffic generated by development would not be mitigatedas there would not be adequate funding for transport schemes.Does it conform to the rules, regulations and advice?NationalUncertain, as thecoalitiongovernment arestill considering thefuture of tariffbased approachesand the existing<strong>com</strong>munityinfrastructure levy.LocalNoIs it informed by evidence?No16.9 Issue: How can we ensure adequate levels of car parking are provided?Preferred Option TA 3Manage car parking levels as part of a wider transport strategy to improve accessibilityto town centres by public transport, walking and cycling.The use of town centre public car parks will be monitored and reviewed to ensure that sufficientcar parking is available. Improvements to other travel modes will, hopefully, mean that towncentres be<strong>com</strong>e more accessible via alternative modes and a reduction in car trips can occur.This could lead to a corresponding reduction in car parking need within town centres.Car parking standards for residential, employment and other development will be set out in,and consulted on, through the Local Transport Plan. Parking policies for residential andnon-residential development will be used in conjunction with the promotion of alternatives tothe car to help to reduce congestion.In the long term, the introduction of Park and Ride sites could be implemented in order to widentravel choice, reduce town centre congestion and release town centre land for <strong>com</strong>munity andbusiness uses.Why is this a Preferred Option?318September 29th, 2010 Christchurch and East Dorset Council Meetings <strong>Core</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Options</strong>
