In identifying sites and developing policies for new schools, consideration should be given at an early stage as to how the use of public transport, cycling and walking can be encouraged to help reduce the number of car journeys to and from new schools. The inclusion of a well-developed local authority green travel plan can help to ensure that new schools are better integrated with existing communities. The EFA therefore support Policy P7 'Accessibility and Ease of Access' which broadly reflects these principles.
