Developing our future Local Transport Plan

From the 1st April 2011, the Council's existing Local Transport Plan 2 will be rolled forward on an interim basis. This action has been taken in response to public opinion captured during the Local Development Frameworks Preferred Option consultation undertaken during autumn 2010. The Council received a number of comments and objections to the proposed housing sites within Hereford and the proposed choice of a western relief road corridor.

Development of the Local Transport Plan (LTP) 3 has been carried out in parallel with the Local Development Framework (LDF) strategy, building on the opportunity to ensure that the long term land use strategy for Herefordshire is underpinned by complementary policies in respect of transport infrastructure.

A new LTP can only be formalised once the key infrastructure requirements for the County have been agreed through the LDF process. Until this is agreed we will continue to monitor our adopted Transportation Policies to ensure they remain consistent with Government guidance and remain fit for purpose
