Local Transport Plans

The NTA, in conjunction with TII, have developed an advice note which sets out a methodology on how to assess the opportunities and constraints for sustainable transport within an area. This Area Based Transport Assessment (ABTA) methodology has been designed as a key input into Local Transport Plans (as provided for in the National Planning Framework (NPF) and Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies (RSES)). The NTA is assisting Local Authorities to develop Local Transport Plans based on this methodology, as part of the statutory plan-making process.

While the cycle networks outlined in this report have been created to reflect current transport arrangements, they may be subject to change based on the more detailed analysis and recommendations developed as part of the LTP process.
