Residential Design Guide

The Highway Authority considers that this document has the potential to provide a clear highway structure for new developments. The Highway Authority would welcome a dedicated chapter which would set out the provision for highways and standard requirements for new residential developments. This would also include requirements for access arrangements.
The chapter could also include information on the provision of infrastructure for sustainable modes of transport, including cycle infrastructure, bus stops and shelters and public rights of way with points of contact included for the County Council.
In addition the Highway Authority actively promotes walking neighbourhoods, and the RTPI Guidance on Dementia and Town Planning, most notably the need for legible and well connected neighbourhoods and developments, which use techniques including landmark buildings, landmark trees and changes in vegetation and materials to guide people through a development, but also make distinct areas which people can recognise
