Movement Framework

Introduction

The movement framework provides the template for how places operate. It should inform the street and active travel network, access, uses and density of  the development, amongst other things. A successful movement framework will make clear and easy connections between existing and new routes and facilities; make provision for the different kinds of movement generated; and provide the maximum choice for how people will make their journeys.

Features of neighbourhood movement framework

  • Create new connections or re-establish lost routes and linkages;
  • Prioritise pedestrians, considering the quality of the streets and ensuring enough space is provided for pedestrians and cyclist, as well as for planting;
  • Create direct and clear connections between destinations with dead ends avoided (the connections do not always have to be vehicular);
  • Consider a grid and block based street pattern to provide a clear and legible layout.
