Ensuring a Choice of Travel SPD

About this SPD

The Ensuring a Choice of Travel SPD provides guidance to developers on the access and transport requirements for new development across Merseyside.  It has been developed in partnership with the other Merseyside local authorities and Merseytravel and was adopted in December 2008.

It will enable the provision of a balanced transport infrastructure to provide access to employment, leisure, retail and other facilities for all the city’s residents and visitors. 

It also provides a framework for future investment in the city’s strategic road and rail networks, where new development would create additional demand.  You can download the SPD and accompanying documents below.
