Planning for Growth:Aligning the Greater Nottingham

Core Strategy and Local Transport Plans

Grant Butterworth

Why alignment of planning and transport is important?

• Horizon scanning, forward looking activity : positive placemaking

• Successful planning process draws people into articulating, shaping and thinking about how to deliver visions

• And identifies key areas, resources and activities to drive transformation

Context : Government’s Expectations for Planning, Housing and Transport (Low Carbon Transition Plan)

18% carbon reduction by 2020

And then 80% carbon reduction by 2050…….

52,000 new homes across Gtr Nottingham by 2026

National Targets (transport)• Low Carbon Transition Plan:

- 14% reduction in carbon emissions by 2020- 10% transport energy by renewables by 2020

• Decarbonise transport by 2050

Geography Lesson: Why Plan at Housing Market Area level?

GNP excludes Erewash….

Housing Market Area is

- best logical fit…

- fits with Local Transport Plan work

- is Govt’s unit of choice

Core Strategy• Development plan to 2026

(replace existing Local Plan)

• Conurbation wide process (Housing Market Area)

• Seeks to Balance land allocations between:

• Housing• Open space• Employment

Sits under :• Regional Spatial Strategy (Govt)• ‘Sustainable Community Strategy’

(City Wide)

Regeneration

New hierarchy (in order of preference) :1) Area wide travel demand management to reduce travel by the private car

2) Improvements to public transport services, walking and cycling facilities

3) Optimisation of existing network to prioritise public transport cycling and walking

4) Enhanced highway capacity to deal with residual demand
