Chapter 8: Movement and Communication
Introduction and Summary
The GESP focuses on integrating development and transport, supporting more sustainable transport in the Greater Exeter area. To help achieve the GESP vision of a networked city region, this chapter promotes active travel and low carbon and sustainable transport movements, alongside a major expansion in digital infrastructure.
The draft policies of this chapter include:
- A transport strategy for the Greater Exeter area, including a range of strategic transport and digital infrastructure investments which will mesh with growth decisions
- A clear sustainable transport hierarchy for major new developments
- The approaches to be taken for a variety of transport modes
- The strategy for travel in Exeter
- The travel enhancements needed for a series of settlements
- The strategy for improved digital connectivity and high speed digital communications
As sites are identified for inclusion in the next version of the GESP (to be determined after this consultation) this chapter will be updated with more site specific transport proposals. Evidence reports providing background to this chapter are available on www.gesp.org.uk/evidence.
