Respondent: Warwickshire County Council - Environment & Economy Directorate

In line with Government guidance the overall philosophy which the County Council has adopted has been to:

* Minimise travel demand by locating new development close to existing services and facilities;
* Maximise the use of public transport to meet new travel demand for both short and medium/longer distance journeys;
* Maximise the overall number of trips which can be made on foot and by bike;
* Ensure that development does not generate significant numbers of car trips through town centres and villages; and
* Minimise the need for significant new highway infrastructure, unless it is essential to serve or mitigate the impact of development on the transport network.
