KEY POLICY MEASURES IN THE MALVERN HILLS AONB MANAGEMENT PLAN RELATING TO TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT AND CAR PARKING

MH.54 To enhance the appearance of visitor car parks, where necessary

MH.58 To undertake traffic management measures which ameliorate adverse effects of congestion and conflict, including possible use of an advance warning system for congested areas at peak periods and dissemination of traffic information to appropriate locations and media outlets.

MH.61 To restrict parking areas in and around the main pressure areas to that capacity which already exists, or to small-scale additions where a clear need is demonstrated or where they can facilitate a redistribution of visitors to provide a clear environmental gain.

MH.62: To consider promotion of parking areas peripheral to the main visitor areas where they can provide an alternative to those under press, and be linked to "park-and-ride routes.

MH.63 To promote well-designed, informal and small scale parking areas for low key countryside recreation at appropriate locations, but to prevent parking giving access to areas which are too sensitive and fragile.

MH.64 To promote improvement to the environmental quality of existing parking areas.

MH.65 To make greater use of parking areas for the provision of information and interpretive material, particularly that which encourages visitors to leave their vehicles and explore, perhaps by "park-and-ride" or on foot, rather than drive between attractions.

MH.66 To discourage indiscriminate parking where it intrudes on or damages the landscape, and to promote the removal or rationalisation of such parking where it already has such adverse effects.
