Ensuring a Choice of Travel SPD

SPD timeline

Current production stage: 4. Consultation on Draft SPD

The draft SPD has been developed in partnership with the other Merseyside local authorities and Merseytravel to provide consistent guidance to developers on the access and transport requirements for new development across Merseyside.  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, and provide a framework for future investment in the City's strategic road and rail network where new development would create additional travel demand.

The decision to produce this SPD followed a recommendation in the 2005 Annual Monitoring Report that a jointly or collaboratively produced Transport SPD be prepared as part of the Local Development Framework of each Merseyside district.  Production resources are being shared between the collaborating districts and as far as possible a consistent approach to content, standards and timetable is being sought.

The draft SPD is being consulted upon for 6 weeks from the 25th April until 6th June 2008.  The document is available to read and comment upon on our new consultation website.  Copies are also available for inspection during normal opening hours at:

  • Millennium House, 60 Victoria Street, Liverpool L1 6JF, 8:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday

  • Central Library, William Brown Street, Liverpool L3 8EW and Community Libraries across the city

Any person may make representations on the document during the consultation period.  Representations may be made by one of the following means:

Access to the website is available via computing facilities in the above locations.

Following consideration of representations received, the City Council will adopt the SPD as part of its Local Development Framework towards the end of 2008.  Any representation may be accompanied by a request to be notified of the subsequent adoption of the document.
