THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RURAL ROADS: THE IMPLICATIONS OF LANDSCAPE AND RECREATION

The central theme of the report is the promotion of effective corporate working between road engineers, planners and landscape architects in the development of policies for rural roads. The report is intended to offer guidance on (a) how corporate working should proceed, (b) how planning and design processes would benefit from corporate working, (C) what principles of planning and design can be laid down and where they cannot, recommendations on how better solutions might be found in individual cases, (D) what techniques might be applied to arrive at these better solutions, and (e) demonstrations of what some of these considerations might lead to in practice. The report is intended only as an introduction to the subject and presents information in two parts - part 1 describes the general concept of corporate working, while part 2 discusses its application in two case studies. /TRRL/
