Key CIHT Guidance

Advice for creating a more sustainable approach into transport, planning and creating better places

CIHT's Better Planning, Better Transport, Better Places advice document focuses on the critical practical steps that can be taken by planning professionals, developers, advisers, and local communities to overcome these barriers, from developing a strategic or Local Plan to delivering a development. It not only works within the context of current planning legislation and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) but also provides recommendations for the government for improving current policy.

Through this advice, creating places that meet the requirements of the 21st century in terms of all the critical elements of environmental, economic, and social sustainability while also effectively delivering the homes needed will be possible. The effective integration of planning and transport is fundamental to achieving this objective.
