The ambition of these conditions is to reduce car use and encourage sustainable travel in areas that are well connected by public transport.

The policies that control and explain these conditions and why we use them are:

the Mayor of London's London Plan
- Policy T2 Healthy Streets
- Policy T6 Car Parking
