36 VISION FOR ICKFORD : ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN : 2019 – 2033

POLICY TT1: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT

New development in the parish will only be supported where it can be
demonstrated that any severe adverse residual cumulative impacts on the road
network will be mitigated and highway safety will not be compromised.
In any new development, consideration shall be given to traffic calming measures
and to new footways linking with existing footways.

All development shall provide adequate off-street car parking. Until the emerging
Local Plan is adopted, there shall be 1 parking space within the plot for 1
bedroom homes, at least 2 spaces for 2 or 3 bedroom homes, and at least 3 spaces
for 4 bedroom homes. These spaces do not include small garages (below 6m x 3m
external) or tandem parking.

Any car parking spaces and footpaths, where required, shall use permeable surfaces
to allow for rainwater absorption and to maintain a rural character to the
streetscene.
